Subject:  \ is Integer division, / is Real division, mod is remainder ...
          -                      -                   ---                 

?100\30               Integer division   \
 3
?100/30               Real or floating point number division  /
 3.33333333333333

?30\7                 7 goes into 30 4 times using \
 4
?30/7
 4.28571428571429

?100 mod 30           MOD operator gives you the remainder
 10                   <----- 30 goes into 100 3 times, with remainder of 10

?30 mod 7                 ___4___ <---- Quotient of 4    30 \ 7
 2                      7 | 30
                            28
                            --
                             2 <---- Remainder of 2      30 mod 7

If you have a base 10 value in some textbox, you need
to convert it from the string "123" to the value 123, for example.

    b10 = Val(Text1.Text)

    b2 = ""                   <--- Your base 2 binary result
                                   will be a string, made up
                                   of 0's and 1's when you get
                                   done doing the
                                   Do While b10 > 0  ....   Loop

    Enough on how to convert from base 10 to binary.


    Starting with decimal number 67, for example.
    b10 \ 2       b10 mod 2
    -------       ---------
    2 67              1         1000011 is the answer
      33              1         64 + 2 + 1 = 67
      16              0
       8              0
       4              0
       2              0             6
       1              1      <---- 2  = 64's digit...
       0  <--- Done!
