173 in binary is 10101101. Unlike the decimal number system where we use the digits 0 to 9 to represent a number, in a binary system, we use only 2 digits that are 0 and 1 (bits). We have used 8 bits to represent 173 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 173 to binary.
How to Convert 173 in Binary?
Step 1: Divide 173 by 2. Use the integer quotient obtained in this step as the dividend for the next step. Repeat the process until the quotient becomes 0.
| Dividend | Remainder |
|---|---|
| 173/2 = 86 | 1 |
| 86/2 = 43 | 0 |
| 43/2 = 21 | 1 |
| 21/2 = 10 | 1 |
| 10/2 = 5 | 0 |
| 5/2 = 2 | 1 |
| 2/2 = 1 | 0 |
| 1/2 = 0 | 1 |
Step 2: Write the remainder from bottom to top i.e. in the reverse chronological order. This will give the binary equivalent of 173.
Therefore, the binary equivalent of decimal number 173 is 10101101.

FAQs on 173 in Binary
What is 173 in Binary?
173 in binary is 10101101. To find decimal to binary equivalent, divide 173 successively by 2 until the quotient becomes 0. The binary equivalent can be obtained by writing the remainder in each division step from the bottom to the top.
How to Convert 173 to Binary Equivalent?
We can divide 173 by 2 and continue the division till we get 0. Note down the remainder in each step.
- 173 mod 2 = 1 - LSB (Least Significant Bit)
- 86 mod 2 = 0
- 43 mod 2 = 1
- 21 mod 2 = 1
- 10 mod 2 = 0
- 5 mod 2 = 1
- 2 mod 2 = 0
- 1 mod 2 = 1 - MSB (Most Significant Bit)
Write the remainders from MSB to LSB. Therefore, the decimal number 173 in binary can be represented as 10101101.
How Many Bits Does 173 in Binary Have?
We can count the number of zeros and ones to see how many bits are used to represent 173 in binary i.e. 10101101. Therefore, we have used 8 bits to represent 173 in binary.
Find the Value of 5 × 173 in Binary Form.
We know that 173 in binary is 10101101 and 5 is 101. Using the binary multiplication rules (0 × 0 = 0; 0 × 1 = 0 ; 1 × 0 = 0 and 1 × 1 = 1), we can multiply 10101101 × 101 = 1101100001 which is 865 in the decimal number system. [173 × 5 = 865]
What is the Binary Equivalent of 173 + 59?
173 in binary number system is 10101101 and 59 is 111011. We can add the binary equivalent of 173 and 59 using binary addition rules [0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 10 note that 1 is a carry over to the next bit]. Therefore, (10101101)₂ + (111011)₂ = (11101000)₂ which is nothing but 232.
