Question

question 15
repeated division - by - 10 is used to convert decimal numbers to binary numbers.
true
false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The repeated division method for converting decimal to binary uses division by 2, not 10. Each division by 2 gives a remainder (0 or 1), which forms the binary digits. For example, to convert decimal 5 to binary:
5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1
2 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1
Reading the remainders from bottom - to - top gives \(101_2\). Division by 10 is not relevant for this conversion.

Answer:

False
