Start by dividing 242 by 2:

242 ÷ 2 = 121 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 2: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (121) by 2:

121 ÷ 2 = 60 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 3: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (60) by 2:

60 ÷ 2 = 30 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 4: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (30) by 2:

30 ÷ 2 = 15 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 5: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (15) by 2:

15 ÷ 2 = 7 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 6: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (7) by 2:

7 ÷ 2 = 3 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 7: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (3) by 2:

3 ÷ 2 = 1 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 8: Final actions

The Quotient is less than 2 (1), so we will transfer it to the beginning of the number as a reminder.

Step 9: Write the Remainders in Reverse Order
