I'm rubbish at mathematics. What's binary representation of 1564??? 10 pts 4 best answer!!!!!!?

The way to convert from base 10 to base 2 is to "divide and track remainders"Start with your number and continue dividing by 2:1564 / 2 = 782 remainder 0782 / 2 = 391 remainder 0391 / 2 = 195 remainder 1195 / 2 = 97 remainder 197 / 2 = 48 remainder 148 / 2 = 24 remainder 024 / 2 = 12 remainder 012 / 2 = 6 remainder 06 / 2 = 3 remainder 03 / 2 = 1 remainder 11 / 2 = 0 remainder 1Now just read your remainders going up:11000011100A quick way to check is to go to Windows Calculator (Start > Programs > Accessories > Calculator. Choose the scientific mode with 'View'>'Scientific'. Type in 1564 and then click the 'Bin' circle.
