How Decimal to Binary Conversion Works

Decimal notation is based on powers of 10, whereas binary notation is based on powers of 2. To convert a decimal value into binary, the number is successively divided by 2 until the quotient becomes zero, and the remainders are then read from bottom to top.

Only numeric digits between 0 and 9 are accepted in a decimal value. Any alphabetic characters or special symbols are considered invalid and can interrupt the conversion.
