I can not create a code to convert numbers from decimal to binary, can anyone give me a hand or a suggestion? ![BINARIO](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/d/1d4c4916231a69dc25edd2e4aa8f747383e95ecd.png) ---

When I Google _convert decimal to binary algorithm_, I get this: > Step 1: Divide the number by 2 and find the remainder, then store the remainder in an array. > > Step 2: Divide the number by 2. > > Step 3: Repeat the above two steps until the number is greater than zero. > > Step 4: Print the array in reverse order to get the binary representation of the number. Have you tried that? ---

it doesn’t work, tell me if I did something wrong in writing the code. even if it doesn’t seem like it ---

Why are you adding BINARIO to the remainder? That’s not part of the algorithm. It says to add the remainder to an **array** , not an integer as you’re doing. That means you have to start with an empty list and then add an item to the list each time you get a remainder. And then convert the completed list to a text string. Or you could join the remainder to an empty text string to start with. Either way should work. ---

I managed to get it working with this code: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/6/06b20c4410de2d52c92270f17328e636574894b8.png) ---
