Converting a decimal to binary

JavaScript

I wrote this simple function in JavaScript to convert a decimal to binary. Remainder of dividing the number by 2 is pushed to an array. At the end the array is reversed and the elements joined together.

// dec2bin.js -- converts a decimal integer to a binary number
function dec2bin(n)
{
    if (!Number.isInteger(n))
    {
        console.log(n, "is not an integer");
        return null;
    }
    s = [];
    while ((n - n % 2)/2 > 0)
    {
        s.push(n % 2);
        n = (n - n % 2) / 2;
    }
    s.push(n);
    return s.reverse().join("");
}

// let's test it 
console.log(dec2bin(19));
console.log(dec2bin(215654));
console.log(dec2bin(4.5));

10011
110100101001100110
4.5 is not an integer
null
