    It is easy. 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    ok when you want to turn a number into a binary number, all you have to do is use simple division. lets say you want to turn 18 into a binary number..
    all you would have to do if figure out the smallest number that would go into it. 256 128 64 32 do not go into it. so all of those numbers would be 0. 16 goes into it 1 so you put a 1 there. but you still have 3. 8 and 4 doesn't go into 3 so those would be 0 also but 2 and 1 go into it so they would be 1 so it would look like this.
    256=0
    128=0
    64=0
    32=0
    16=1
    8=0
    4=0
    2=1
    1=1
    000010011=18

    16+2+1 = 18?
    o.O

    binary isn't that tough, i learned it in a video in 4th grade, and it only spent like ten minutes on binary, i dont see why this needs five pages of talking.
