Decimal to binary conversion calculator
Computers are digital devices. This means that all the images and words that computers display are stored as ones and zeroes. A one is stored as a tiny electric charge. A zero is represented by an absence of electric charge. Each one or zero is a ‘bit’ of information (computer transmission speeds are described in bits per second). A group of 8 bits together is called a ‘byte’. A byte holds enough information to code a single letter or number. Multiples of a byte (such as kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes) are used to describe storage capacity.
It can be a slow process to convert the decimal numbers we use every day into binary. Make a conversion calculator that will automatically convert decimal to binary.
