Write the procedure to convert fractional Decimal to Binary.

Answer 1

Procedure to convert fractional Decimal to Binary.

• Step 1: Multiply the decimal fraction by 2 and note the integer part. The integer part is either O or 1.
• Step 2: Discard the integer part of the previous product. Multiply the fractional part of the previous product by 2. Repeat step 1 until the same fraction repeats or terminates (0).
• Step 3: The resulting integer part forms a sequence of 0’s and 1 ’s that becomes the binary equivalent of decimal fractions.
• Step 4: The final answer is to be written from the first integer part obtained till the last integer part obtained.
