Convert 199 into a binary number.
- A.
  
  11110000
- B.
  
  11001100
- C.
  
  11000111
- D.
  
  10101010
Correct Answer
C. 11000111

Explanation
To convert a decimal number into a binary number, we divide the decimal number by 2 repeatedly and record the remainders. Starting with 199, we divide it by 2 to get a quotient of 99 and a remainder of 1. We then divide 99 by 2 to get a quotient of 49 and a remainder of 1. Continuing this process, we divide 49 by 2 to get a quotient of 24 and a remainder of 1. We divide 24 by 2 to get a quotient of 12 and a remainder of 0. We divide 12 by 2 to get a quotient of 6 and a remainder of 0. We divide 6 by 2 to get a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Finally, we divide 3 by 2 to get a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 1. The binary representation of 199 is therefore 11000111.
