Convert 999 from decimal to binary

(base 2) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 2 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 999

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

26 = 64

27 = 128

28 = 256

29 = 512

210 = 1024 <--- Stop: This is greater than 999

Since 1024 is greater than 999, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 9

Build binary notation

Work backwards from a power of 9

We start with a total sum of 0:

29 = 512

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 512 = 512

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 512 = 512

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 1

28 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 256 = 768

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 768

Our binary notation is now equal to 11

27 = 128

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 128 = 128

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
768 + 128 = 896

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 896

Our binary notation is now equal to 111

26 = 64

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 64 = 64

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
896 + 64 = 960

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 960

Our binary notation is now equal to 1111

25 = 32

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 32 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
960 + 32 = 992

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 992

Our binary notation is now equal to 11111

24 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
992 + 16 = 1008

This is > 999, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 992

Our binary notation is now equal to 111110

23 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 8 = 8

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
992 + 8 = 1000

This is > 999, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 992

Our binary notation is now equal to 1111100

22 = 4

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 4 = 4

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
992 + 4 = 996

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 996

Our binary notation is now equal to 11111001

21 = 2

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 2 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
996 + 2 = 998

This is <= 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 998

Our binary notation is now equal to 111110011

20 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 999 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
998 + 1 = 999

This = 999, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 999

Our binary notation is now equal to 1111100111
