Easy way to convert decimal to binary

[swoll1980]

Start with any number, divide it by 2, if there's a remainder of .5 you drop the .5 before you divide by 2 again. If it's whole you don't have to drop before you divide again. repeat this until you get to 0. When your done, write a 0 next to all the answers that were whole numbers, and 1 next to all the ones that ended in .5 if you read from the bottom up, that's your number in binary. See the chart in the pic. I used 213 in the example. but it will work with all numbers

There's no such thing as "cheating" in the real world :)
