Decimal to Binary Conversion Help. :-(

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Hello there. Well, I've been introduced to Binary, Hexidecimal and Octal number systems and I'm very confused. My confusion begins at converting a Decimal base 10 number into a binary number. My tutor has shown me several examples and I still don't get it, it just hurts my head looking at the question and it's really frustrating not knowing where to begin. I've had a quick Google, and my tutor will e-mail me with some notes later on this evening. I'm going to fall behind if I can't get my head around converting and I just need someone to explain it to me very simply if possible. I know that this is probably a piece of cake for most of you guys, I'm not dull, I'm just **** at math.

Anyway, hopefully somebody will be able to give me a hand, cheers in advance, and no " Google Binary Conversion" posts please because they just aren't constructive and it isn't what I'm asking for.

Your example is confusing me, if you gave me a number I wouldn't know how to put it into a binary form just by looking at yours. Where do you start when converting? What's the easiest method? And could you please describe the method that you've just demonstrated. I know I'm a pain in the ass but I'm just trying to understand your method.

Thanks you lot. Caustic, that really, really helped, and I'm off to make a cup of tea, have a sit down and then try some sums of my own. That seems quite simple in the way that you explained it and my head isn't hurting so much now.
