To convert decimal to binary, we need to divide the given decimal number by 2 until the quotient becomes 0. We write the remainder in each division to get the binary equivalent. In this case, 191 divided by 2 gives a quotient of 95 and remainder of 1. Dividing 95 by 2 gives a quotient of 47 and remainder of 1. Dividing 47 by 2 gives a quotient of 23 and remainder of 1. Dividing 23 by 2 gives a quotient of 11 and remainder of 1. Dividing 11 by 2 gives a quotient of 5 and remainder of 1. Dividing 5 by 2 gives a quotient of 2 and remainder of 1. Dividing 2 by 2 gives a quotient of 1 and remainder of 0. Dividing 1 by 2 gives a quotient of 0 and remainder of 1. So, the binary equivalent of 191 is 10111111.
