How to convert decimal to binary
Divide by 2 repeatedly and write down the remainders from bottom to top. For 13: 13 ÷ 2 = 6 r 1, 6 ÷ 2 = 3 r 0, 3 ÷ 2 = 1 r 1, 1 ÷ 2 = 0 r 1, so 13 = 1101.

Is there a size limit?
No practical limit. It uses arbitrary-precision integers (BigInt).
Does it handle fractions?
No, whole numbers only.
