Decimal to Binary Using Repeated Division
Firmware engineers routinely convert human-readable decimal values into machine-level binary configurations to program hardware registers. The repeated division algorithm converts a base-10 integer into base-2 by successively dividing the quotient by 2 and recording the remainder at each step. The base-10 number 173 is processed using this exact method. Trace the division steps to determine the full binary equivalent of 173. Identify the Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Most Significant Bit (MSB) based strictly on the sequence of remainders.
Constraints
- Operations are limited to integer division
- Remainders must be strictly evaluated as
0or1 - Final output must be represented as an 8-bit binary string
