HOW TO CONVERT 11 TO BINARY

Method: divide by 2, collect remainders

1

11 ÷ 2 = 5 remainder 1

2

5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1

3

2 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 0

4

1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1

Read remainders bottom to top: 1011

VERIFY: BINARY BACK TO DECIMAL

1×2^3 + 0×2^2 + 1×2^1 + 1×2^0

= 8 + 2 + 1 = 11

FUN FACT

11 is the fifth prime. In binary, 11 = 1011 — three bits set with only bit position 2 as zero. In hex, 11 = B, the second letter-digit.

HOW TO CONVERT

  1. 1

    Divide 11 by 2 repeatedly, collecting remainders: 11 div 2 = 5 remainder 1 -> 5 div 2 = 2 remainder 1 -> 2 div 2 = 1 remainder 0 -> 1 div 2 = 0 remainder 1. Read remainders bottom to top: 1011.

  2. 2

    Verify: 1*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0 = 8 + 2 + 1 = 11. Each bit position represents a power of 2, starting at 2^0 = 1 on the right.

  3. 3

    11 in other bases: octal = 13, hexadecimal = B. The binary form has 3 one(s) and 1 zero(s).

  4. 4

    The bit pattern uses 4 bits and fits in 1 byte. When stored as a full byte: 00001011.

WORKED EXAMPLE

11 decimal to binary: 11 div 2 = 5 remainder 1 -> 5 div 2 = 2 remainder 1 -> 2 div 2 = 1 remainder 0 -> 1 div 2 = 0 remainder 1 -> read bottom to top: 1011. Verify: 1*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0 = 11. Octal: 13, Hex: B.
