Repeatedly divide the given decimal number by 2, writing the remainder clearly on the right hand side (even if the remainder is 0).
\nContinue until you eventually reach 1, at which point you get 1/2 = 0, with remainder 1. Now list the remainders in the order from bottom to top.
\n\nFor example, to convert 363 to decimal:
\nNumber of times 2 goes in: Remainder:
\n363/2 = 181 1
\n181/2 = 90 1
\n90/2 = 45 0
\n45/2 = 22 1
\n22/2 = 11 0
\n11/2 = 5 1
\n5/2 = 2 1
\n2/2 = 1 0
\n1/2 = 0 1
\n\nWe can go no further, so we stop. Now, listing the remainders in order from bottom to top, we get that 363, in binary, is 101101011.
