10. Convert decimal numbers into binary.

1. Converting 25 to Binary:

   Step 1: 25 ÷ 2 = 12, Remainder = 1

   Step 2: 12 ÷ 2 = 6, Remainder = 0

   Step 3: 6 ÷ 2 = 3, Remainder = 0

   Step 4: 3 ÷ 2 = 1, Remainder = 1

   Step 5: 1 ÷ 2 = 0, Remainder = 1

   Reading remainders from bottom to top: 11001

   Therefore, 25 in binary = 11001

 

2. Converting 64 to Binary:

   Step 1: 64 ÷ 2 = 32, Remainder = 0

   Step 2: 32 ÷ 2 = 16, Remainder = 0

   Step 3: 16 ÷ 2 = 8, Remainder = 0

   Step 4: 8 ÷ 2 = 4, Remainder = 0

   Step 5: 4 ÷ 2 = 2, Remainder = 0

   Step 6: 2 ÷ 2 = 1, Remainder = 0

   Step 7: 1 ÷ 2 = 0, Remainder = 1

   Reading remainders from bottom to top: 1000000

   Therefore, 64 in binary = 1000000

3. Converting 128 to Binary:

   Step 1: 128 ÷ 2 = 64, Remainder = 0

   Step 2: 64 ÷ 2 = 32, Remainder = 0

   Step 3: 32 ÷ 2 = 16, Remainder = 0

   Step 4: 16 ÷ 2 = 8, Remainder = 0

   Step 5: 8 ÷ 2 = 4, Remainder = 0

   Step 6: 4 ÷ 2 = 2, Remainder = 0

   Step 7: 2 ÷ 2 = 1, Remainder = 0

   Step 8: 1 ÷ 2 = 0, Remainder = 1

   Reading remainders from bottom to top: 10000000

   Therefore, 128 in binary = 10000000
