Question

Convert the following dotted decimal IP address into binary (see Block 3, Part 2):

172.61.35.186

Answer 1

172.61.35.186 = 10101100.00111101.00100011.10111010

Explanation:

The IP address is 32-bit long address which is used in form of decimal numbers separated by dots.

Each decimal is converted into 8-bits. If the bits are less than eight after conversion, zeroes are added to complete 8 bits.

So,

172: 10101100

61: 00111101

35: 00100011

186: 10111010

So,

172.61.35.186 = 10101100.00111101.00100011.10111010 ..
