#take decimal
#work out limits in binary
#find smallest power of 2 that is greater than number

#divide number by greatest column and carry remainder
#keep on dividing by subsequent columns
#if result<1 do nothing if result >1 carry remainder 
#until result=1 when number finished
#remaining colums will be 0

#e.g 13
#4-bit
#13/8=1r5
#so check 8
#5/4=1r1
#so check 4
#1/2<1 so skip
#1/1 so check 1
#number finished at 1101
