C# divide two binary numbers

Question

Is it possible in C# to divide two binary numbers. All I am trying to do is:

Get integer value into binary format, see below

int days = 68;
string binary = Convert.ToString(days, 2);

but how do you divide the binary numbers? , what format should be used?

01000100 / 000000100 = 4

Little confused any help would be great.

Answer 1

// convert from binary representation
int x = Convert.ToInt32("01000100", 2);
int y = Convert.ToInt32("000000100", 2);

// divide
int z = x / y;

// convert back to binary
string z_bin = Convert.ToString(z, 2);

Answer 2

int a = Convert.ToInt32("01000100", 2);
int b = Convert.ToInt32("000000100", 2);
int c = a / b;

and by the way the answer is dec:17 instead of dec:4

Answer 3

If you are trying to mask the bits together, youll want to use the & Operator

// convert from binary representation
int x = Convert.ToInt32("01000100", 2);
int y = Convert.ToInt32("000000100", 2);

// Bitwise and the values together
int z = x & y; // This will give you 4

// convert back to binary
string z_bin = Convert.ToString(z, 2);
