Correct answer: A

The repeated division method by 2 is used to convert a decimal number to its binary equivalent. Step 1: Divide the decimal number by 2. Step 2: Record the remainder (0 or 1). Step 3: Use the quotient from the division as the new number to divide by 2. Step 4: Repeat the process until the quotient becomes 0. Step 5: The binary number is obtained by reading the remainders in reverse order. Example: Convert 13 to binary. 13 ÷ 2 = 6 remainder 1 6 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 0 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1 Reading remainders in reverse: 1101.
