Python program for decimal to binary conversion
Decimal to binary conversion in Python
Here, in this page we will discuss the program for Decimal to binary conversion in python. A decimal number is a standard representation of integers or non-integers, decimal numbers are also called as numbers with base 10. Whereas in binary number system numbers are with base 10 and shows representation by 0 and 1.

Methods discussed
- Method 1: Binary Bits stored in Array
- Method 2: Using mathematical operations to generate binary equivalent.
Algorithm ( Method 1 )
- Initialize a empty array as binaryArray
- while input number is greater then 0
- Append 1 if unit digit of num is odd else append 0
- Assign half the value of num to num
- Print all the values of binaryArray
Python Code
Run
def convertBinary(num): binaryArray = [] while num>0: binaryArray.append(num%2) num = num//2 for j in binaryArray: print(j, end="") decimal_num = 21 convertBinary(decimal_num)
Output
Binary of 21 is : 10101
Algorithm ( Method 2 )
- Initialize variables binary, i, rem and assign 0, 1, 0 respectively
- While input number is greater then zero run he loop
- rem equals to divisibility of input by 2
- num equals to half of num
- Add rem * i to binary
- Multiply i by 10
- return binary
Python Code
Run
def convertBinary(num): binary = 0 i, rem = 1, 0 while num != 0: rem = num % 2 num = num // 2 binary += rem * i i *= 10 return binary decimal_num = 21 print("Binary of", decimal_num, "is : ", end="") print(convertBinary(decimal_num))
Output
Binary of 21 is : 10101
