Convert a Number into Binary and Check if It’s a Palindrome

Have you ever wondered whether the binary representation of a number is the same forwards and backwards? That’s exactly what a binary palindrome is!

In this blog, we’ll walk through:

• ✅ Converting a number into binary
• 🔍 Checking if the binary number is a palindrome
• 💻 Writing a simple Python program to do both

🔢 What is Binary?

Binary is a number system using only 0s and 1s — the language computers speak. For example:

• 5 in binary is 101
• 9 in binary is 1001

🔁 What is a Palindrome?

A palindrome is something that reads the same forwards and backwards.

Examples:

• "121" is a palindrome
• "101" is a palindrome
• "110" is not a palindrome

So we’re going to take a number, convert it into binary, and check if the binary string is a palindrome.

Conclusion

Checking if a number’s binary is a palindrome is simple and fun. It also gives you insight into how binary works and how strings can be manipulated in Python.

Next time you’re working with binary numbers, try checking their symmetry — you might discover some hidden patterns!
