172 in Binary
172 in binary is 10101100. Unlike the decimal number system where we use the digits 0 to 9 to represent a number, in a binary system, we use only 2 digits that are 0 and 1 (bits). We have used 8 bits to represent 172 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 172 to binary.
How to Convert 172 in Binary?
Step 1: Divide 172 by 2. Use the integer quotient obtained in this step as the dividend for the next step. Repeat the process until the quotient becomes 0.
| Dividend | Remainder |
|---|---|
| 172/2 = 86 | 0 |
| 86/2 = 43 | 0 |
| 43/2 = 21 | 1 |
| 21/2 = 10 | 1 |
| 10/2 = 5 | 0 |
| 5/2 = 2 | 1 |
| 2/2 = 1 | 0 |
| 1/2 = 0 | 1 |
Step 2: Write the remainder from bottom to top i.e. in the reverse chronological order. This will give the binary equivalent of 172.
Therefore, the binary equivalent of decimal number 172 is 10101100.

Find the Value of 4 × 172 in Binary Form.
We know that 172 in binary is 10101100 and 4 is 100. Using the binary multiplication rules (0 × 0 = 0; 0 × 1 = 0 ; 1 × 0 = 0 and 1 × 1 = 1), we can multiply 10101100 × 100 = 1010110000 which is 688 in the decimal number system. [172 × 4 = 688]
How to Convert 172 to Binary Equivalent?
We can divide 172 by 2 and continue the division till we get 0. Note down the remainder in each step.
- 172 mod 2 = 0 - LSB (Least Significant Bit)
- 86 mod 2 = 0
- 43 mod 2 = 1
- 21 mod 2 = 1
- 10 mod 2 = 0
- 5 mod 2 = 1
- 2 mod 2 = 0
- 1 mod 2 = 1 - MSB (Most Significant Bit)
Write the remainders from MSB to LSB. Therefore, the decimal number 172 in binary can be represented as 10101100.
