Show a number as binary in Wolfram Alpha

Question

Is there any way to see a number as it's individual bits (i.e. base 2) in Wolfram Alpha?

For example, given the number 255, it should show: 11111111

Similarly, the number 4 can be shown as: 100

Answer 1

I just guessed, and found out that you can use <number> as base 2.

Example: 255 as base 2 outputs: 111111112.

Other forms that work as well:

• 255 as base2
• 255 base 2
• convert 255 to base 2
• 255 to binary
• 255 to base 2

Answer 2

You can do the same with Google by using <number> in base 2.
