Algorithm:

  1. Store the remainder when the number is divided by  2 in an array.
  2. Divide the number by 2
  3. Repeat the above two steps until the number is greater than zero.
  4. Print the array in reverse order now.

For Example:
If the binary number is 10.
Step 1: Remainder when 10 is divided by 2 is zero. Therefore, arr[0] = 0.
Step 2: Divide 10 by 2. New number is 10/2 = 5.
Step 3: Remainder when 5 is divided by 2 is 1. Therefore, arr[1] = 1.
Step 4: Divide 5 by 2. New number is 5/2 = 2.
Step 5: Remainder when 2 is divided by 2 is zero. Therefore, arr[2] = 0.
Step 6: Divide 2 by 2. New number is 2/2 = 1.
Step 7: Remainder when 1 is divided by 2 is 1. Therefore, arr[3] = 1.
Step 8: Divide 1 by 2. New number is 1/2 = 0.
Step 9: Since number becomes = 0. Print the array in reverse order. Therefore the equivalent binary number is 1010.

Below diagram shows an example of converting the decimal number 17 to equivalant binary number.
