Without the ability to convert back and forth between decimal and binary numbers, it would be a little bit difficult to communicate with a computer.

To convert a decimal number to a binary representation, we can divide the number by 2 (binary is base 2 number system) until the division result is 0. As an example, we will convert the number 10 into binary digits:
