Step 1: Divide by 2

Start by dividing 1540 by 2:

1540 ÷ 2 = 770 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 2: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (770) by 2:

770 ÷ 2 = 385 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 3: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (385) by 2:

385 ÷ 2 = 192 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 4: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (192) by 2:

192 ÷ 2 = 96 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 5: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (96) by 2:

96 ÷ 2 = 48 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 6: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (48) by 2:

48 ÷ 2 = 24 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 7: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (24) by 2:

24 ÷ 2 = 12 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 8: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (12) by 2:

12 ÷ 2 = 6 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 9: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (6) by 2:

6 ÷ 2 = 3 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 10: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (3) by 2:

3 ÷ 2 = 1 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 11: Final actions

The Quotient is less than 2 (1), so we will transfer it to the beginning of the number as a reminder.

Step 12: Write the Remainders in Reverse Order

Now, write down the remainders obtained in reverse order:

11000000100
