252 in Binary
252 in binary is 11111100. 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 252 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 252 to binary.
How to Convert 252 in Binary?
Step 1: Divide 252 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 |
|---|---|
| 252/2 = 126 | 0 |
| 126/2 = 63 | 0 |
| 63/2 = 31 | 1 |
| 31/2 = 15 | 1 |
| 15/2 = 7 | 1 |
| 7/2 = 3 | 1 |
| 3/2 = 1 | 1 |
| 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 252.
Therefore, the binary equivalent of decimal number 252 is 11111100.

FAQs on 252 in Binary
What is 252 in Binary?
252 in binary is 11111100. To find decimal to binary equivalent, divide 252 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.
How to Convert 252 to Binary Equivalent?
We can divide 252 by 2 and continue the division till we get 0. Note down the remainder in each step.
- 252 mod 2 = 0 - LSB (Least Significant Bit)
- 126 mod 2 = 0
- 63 mod 2 = 1
- 31 mod 2 = 1
- 15 mod 2 = 1
- 7 mod 2 = 1
- 3 mod 2 = 1
- 1 mod 2 = 1 - MSB (Most Significant Bit)
Write the remainders from MSB to LSB. Therefore, the decimal number 252 in binary can be represented as 11111100.
Find the Value of 4 × 252 in Binary Form.
We know that 252 in binary is 11111100 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 11111100 × 100 = 1111110000 which is 1008 in the decimal number system. [252 × 4 = 1008]
How Many Bits Does 252 in Binary Have?
We can count the number of zeros and ones to see how many bits are used to represent 252 in binary i.e. 11111100. Therefore, we have used 8 bits to represent 252 in binary.
What is the Binary Equivalent of 252 + 5?
252 in binary number system is 11111100 and 5 is 101. We can add the binary equivalent of 252 and 5 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, (11111100)₂ + (101)₂ = (100000001)₂ which is nothing but 257.
