How to convert 10100 to binary
Step 1: Ternary to decimal
Multiply each digit by 3 to the power of its position (0 on the right), then add:
| Digit | Place value | Digit × place |
|---|---|---|
1 | 34 = 81 | 81 |
0 | 33 = 27 | 0 |
1 | 32 = 9 | 9 |
0 | 31 = 3 | 0 |
0 | 30 = 1 | 0 |
81 + 0 + 9 + 0 + 0 = 90
Step 2: Decimal to binary
Divide by 2 repeatedly and keep the remainders. Reading the remainders from the last one to the first gives the binary digits:
| Division | Quotient | Remainder (digit) |
