Example: 57

Step 1 - find the biggest power of 2 less than the number. In this case, 32. Type 1.

Step 2 - subtract it from the number (57 - 32 = 25). Is the next smaller power of 2 less than or equal to that number? (is 16 < 25?) If so, type 1. If not, type 0. In this case, we type 1, and our answer so far is 11.

Step 3 - repeat for successively smaller powers of 2 until you reach 1.

25 - 16 = 9. Next smaller power of 2 is 8. Is 8< 9? yes. Type another 1. 9 - 8 = 1. Next smaller power of 2 is 4. Is 4 less than 1? no. Type 0. Is 2 less than 1? No. Type 0. Is 1 less than/equal to 1? Yes. Type 1. Full answer: 111001

Each digit is a multiple of 2. Starting with the right most digit, you have 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, 2^3, 2^4 and so on and so forth which gives you a numerical value of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. You then add them up to get the number you need. So for example, 10111 is actually equal to 2^4+2^2+2^1+2^0 (2^3 is not included because there is a zero in that spot). Then just add them up. 16+4+2+1 = 23. For me, it's way easier to work backwards and convert binary to numerical numbers since I don't regularly work with binary so this was particularly challenging for me.

Should Step 1 say "less than or equal to"? Your method, as written, doesn't work for numbers like 8.

I know how to do it, I'm just not fast enough. I remember in school they taught us by giving us little wooden blocks that were valued, and had representative sizes, of 1, 2, 4 etc. etc and that's how they taught us the binary system.

I thought originally that all computer programs were written in binary code.

Here is a grid to be used for all numbers up to 127 in base 10.

64 32 16 8 4 2 1

Under these numbers place a 1 for yes and a 0 for no. e.g:

if your base 10 number is 50

64 32 16 8 4 2 1

0 1 1 0 0 1 0 (32 + 16 + 2 = 50)

I forgot how to do it, think we were shown it when I was 13 (don't think we were actually taught it, just a mention of it).

So I was happy to find in the comments the system it is based on. And managed to get 100% :) I wrote 1 2 4 8 16 32 in the search box (had no paper near me) because I have short term memory issuse (severely, when adding 15+8 when thinking of the 8 I may have forgotten the 15 already.. Didn't think I would make it!
