Let's convert the decimal number 979 to binary without using a calculator:

Step 1: Divide by 2

Start by dividing 979 by 2:

979 ÷ 2 = 489 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 2: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (489) by 2:

489 ÷ 2 = 244 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 3: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (244) by 2:

244 ÷ 2 = 122 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 4: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (122) by 2:

122 ÷ 2 = 61 (Quotient) with a remainder of 0

Step 5: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (61) by 2:

61 ÷ 2 = 30 (Quotient) with a remainder of 1

Step 6: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (30) by 2:

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

Step 7: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (15) by 2:

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

Step 8: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (7) by 2:

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

Step 9: Divide the Quotient

Now, divide the quotient (3) by 2:

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

Step 10: Final actions

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

Step 11: Write the Remainders in Reverse Order

Now, write down the remainders obtained in reverse order:

1111010011
