2 in Binary
2 in binary is 10. 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 2 bits to represent 2 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 2 to binary.
How to Convert 2 in Binary?
Step 1: Divide 2 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 2.
Therefore, the binary equivalent of decimal number 2 is 10.

FAQs on 2 in Binary
What is 2 in Binary?
2 in binary is 10. To find decimal to binary equivalent, divide 2 successively by 2 until the quotient becomes 0. The binary equivalent can be obtained by writing the remainder in each division step from the bottom to the top.
What is the Binary Equivalent of 2 + 98?
2 in binary number system is 10 and 98 is 1100010. We can add the binary equivalent of 2 and 98 using binary addition rules [0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 10 note that 1 is a carry over to the next bit]. Therefore, (10)₂ + (1100010)₂ = (1100100)₂ which is nothing but 100.

How Many Bits Does 2 in Binary Have?
We can count the number of zeros and ones to see how many bits are used to represent 2 in binary i.e. 10. Therefore, we have used 2 bits to represent 2 in binary.
How to Convert 2 to Binary Equivalent?
We can divide 2 by 2 and continue the division till we get 0. Note down the remainder in each step.
- 2 mod 2 = 0 - LSB (Least Significant Bit)
- 1 mod 2 = 1 - MSB (Most Significant Bit)
Write the remainders from MSB to LSB. Therefore, the decimal number 2 in binary can be represented as 10.
Find the Value of 8 × 2 in Binary Form.
We know that 2 in binary is 10 and 8 is 1000. Using the binary multiplication rules (0 × 0 = 0; 0 × 1 = 0 ; 1 × 0 = 0 and 1 × 1 = 1), we can multiply 10 × 1000 = 10000 which is 16 in the decimal number system. [2 × 8 = 16]
