<p><strong>Step 1 -</strong>Determine the place values: In the binary system, each<a>place value</a>is a<a>power</a>of 2. Therefore, we will identify the powers of 2. 20 = 1 21 = 2 22 = 4 23 = 8 24 = 16 25 = 32 Since 32 is<a>greater than</a>18, we stop at 24 = 16.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2 -</strong>Identify the largest power of 2: We stopped at 24 = 16, as it is the largest power of 2<a>less than</a>or equal to 18. Write 1 in the 24 place. Now subtract 16 from 18. 18 - 16 = 2</p>

<p><strong>Step 2 -</strong>Identify the largest power of 2: We stopped at 24 = 16, as it is the largest power of 2<a>less than</a>or equal to 18. Write 1 in the 24 place. Now subtract 16 from 18. 18 - 16 = 2</p>

<p><strong>Step 3 -</strong>Identify the next largest power of 2: The largest power of 2 that fits into the result of the previous step, 2, is 21. Write 1 in the 21 place. Then subtract 2 from 2. 2 - 2 = 0. Stop here as the<a>remainder</a>is 0.</p>

9
<p><strong>Step 1 -</strong>Divide 18 by 2. 18 / 2 = 9. Here, 9 is the quotient, and 0 is the remainder.</p>
9
<p><strong>Step 1 -</strong>Divide 18 by 2. 18 / 2 = 9. Here, 9 is the quotient, and 0 is the remainder.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2 -</strong>Divide the previous quotient (9) by 2. 9 / 2 = 4. The quotient is 4, and the remainder is 1.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2 -</strong>Divide the previous quotient (9) by 2. 9 / 2 = 4. The quotient is 4, and the remainder is 1.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3 -</strong>Repeat the previous step. 4 / 2 = 2. Now, the quotient is 2, and 0 is the remainder.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3 -</strong>Repeat the previous step. 4 / 2 = 2. Now, the quotient is 2, and 0 is the remainder.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4 -</strong>Repeat the previous step. 2 / 2 = 1. The quotient is 1, and the remainder is 0.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4 -</strong>Repeat the previous step. 2 / 2 = 1. The quotient is 1, and the remainder is 0.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5 -</strong>Repeat the previous step. 1 / 2 = 0. Here, the remainder is 1. Stop as the quotient is 0.</p>
