Convert 541 from decimal to binary

(base 2) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 2 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 541

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

26 = 64

27 = 128

28 = 256

29 = 512

210 = 1024 <--- Stop: This is greater than 541

Since 1024 is greater than 541, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 9

Build binary notation

Work backwards from a power of 9

We start with a total sum of 0:

29 = 512

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 512 = 512

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 512 = 512

This is <= 541, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 1

28 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 256 = 768

This is > 541, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 10

27 = 128

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 128 = 128

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 128 = 640

This is > 541, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 100

26 = 64

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 64 = 64

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 64 = 576

This is > 541, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 1000

25 = 32

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 32 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 32 = 544

This is > 541, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 10000

24 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 16 = 528

This is <= 541, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 528

Our binary notation is now equal to 100001

23 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 8 = 8

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
528 + 8 = 536

This is <= 541, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 536

Our binary notation is now equal to 1000011

22 = 4

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 4 = 4

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
536 + 4 = 540

This is <= 541, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 540

Our binary notation is now equal to 10000111

21 = 2

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 2 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
540 + 2 = 542

This is > 541, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 540

Our binary notation is now equal to 100001110

20 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 541 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
540 + 1 = 541

This = 541, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 541

Our binary notation is now equal to 1000011101
