Subnetting Example 1

Conversion of decimal into binary

Example 1:
Convert decimal number 117 into binary ?

Note: You should always move from left to right.

Solution: 

Base position       2^7   2^6   2^5   2^4   2^3   2^2   2^1   2^0
Decimal value      128     64     32     16      8       4       2        1
Bit status                 0        1       1       1       0        1      0        1

We can also check through adding only "1"s bit in the table which is shown above.

64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1 = 117

Rough note: We can do like this adding method given below;

Decimal calculation                                                                 Bit in binary 
128 is greater than 117                                                                 off the bit
0 + 64 = 64 is less than 117                                                          on the bit
0 + 64 + 32 = 96 is less than 117                                                  on the bit
0+ 64 + 32 + 16 = 112 is less than 117                                         on the bit
0 + 64+ 32 + 16 + 8 = 120 is greater than 117                              off the bit
0+ 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 4 = 116 is less than 117                             on the bit
0+ 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 = 118 is greater than 117                  off the bit
0+ 64 32 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 117 is equivalent to 117           on the bit

This is another way of doing this calculation in which we can also do like this subtracting method which is given below;

Decimal calculation
117 - 128 cannot be subtracted because 128 is greater than 117
117 - 64 = 53 is less than 117
53 - 32 = 21 is less than 53
21 - 16 = 5 is less than 21
5 - 8 cannot be subtracted because 8 is greater than 5
5 - 4 = 1 is less than 5
1 - 2 cannot be subtracted because 2 is greater than 1
1 - 1 = 0 at last we got the value equal to 0 

Therefore, this is the binary value of 117 is 01110101.
