    Example 1: Convert the decimal number 26, i.e., (26)  to binary.
                                                                        10
                                           2  26

                                           2   13    → 0

                                           2    6    → 1
                                           2    3     → 0

                                                 1    → 1

                                                            Start listing the last quotient and all
                                                            the remainders from here.
                  The binary equivalent of (26)  is 11010
                                                10
                  In other words, (26)  = (11010) 2
                                      10
                  Example 2: Convert the decimal number 64, i.e., (64)  to binary.
                                                                        10
                                                             2  64
                                                             2  32            → 0
                                                             2  16            → 0

                                                             2    8            → 0
                                                             2    4            → 0
                                                             2    2            → 0

                                                                   1            → 0
                  The binary equivalent of (64)  is 1000000
                                                10
                  In other words, (64)  = (1000000)  2
                                      10

                  BINARY TO DECIMAL CONVERSION

                  To convert a binary number into a decimal number, follow these steps:

                      Start from the right-most digit known as the LSD before the fractional point and move leftwards.
                       While doing so, multiply each digit by 2 raised to a particular power. The powers of 2 start at 0 and
                     increase to 1, 2, and so on as you move leftward.

                      Add up all the resulting products. You will get your decimal number.
                  The given examples will help you understand the conversion.
