A New Method for Decimal - Binary Conversion: Interpret as Octal - Binary Conversion

Abstract

In digital technology designs and digital machine operations normally people use binary number system instead of decimal number system. Digital devices work with digital technologies that use digital signals to communicate between devices. This is the reason why decimal to binary conversion becomes so important. By converting decimal into binary, it would be very easy to convert the binary number into octal or hexadecimal. So far the division by base-2 has been used as a standard method to convert decimal numbers into binary numbers. This research brings a different method for conducting decimal to binary conversion where this conversion could be done using octal number system. Octal number system helps interpret decimal into octal and the octal into binary. Literature studies, comparisons, analysis and evaluation have been made to derive the solution for this alternative new method. This method is reliable and flexible to use for education, learning process, even for programming.
