See below how to convert 10 001 000 704(10), the unsigned base 10 decimal system number to base 2 binary equivalent

What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 10 001 000 704 to base 2 unsigned binary equivalent?

  • A number written in base ten, or a decimal system number, is a number written using the digits 0 through 9. A number written in base two, or a binary system number, is a number written using only the digits 0 and 1.

1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:

Keep track of each remainder.

Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.


  • division = quotient + remainder;
  • 10 001 000 704 ÷ 2 = 5 000 500 352 + 0;
  • 5 000 500 352 ÷ 2 = 2 500 250 176 + 0;
  • 2 500 250 176 ÷ 2 = 1 250 125 088 + 0;
  • 1 250 125 088 ÷ 2 = 625 062 544 + 0;
  • 625 062 544 ÷ 2 = 312 531 272 + 0;
  • 312 531 272 ÷ 2 = 156 265 636 + 0;
  • 156 265 636 ÷ 2 = 78 132 818 + 0;
  • 78 132 818 ÷ 2 = 39 066 409 + 0;
  • 39 066 409 ÷ 2 = 19 533 204 + 1;
  • 19 533 204 ÷ 2 = 9 766 602 + 0;
  • 9 766 602 ÷ 2 = 4 883 301 + 0;
  • 4 883 301 ÷ 2 = 2 441 650 + 1;
  • 2 441 650 ÷ 2 = 1 220 825 + 0;
  • 1 220 825 ÷ 2 = 610 412 + 1;
  • 610 412 ÷ 2 = 305 206 + 0;
  • 305 206 ÷ 2 = 152 603 + 0;
  • 152 603 ÷ 2 = 76 301 + 1;
  • 76 301 ÷ 2 = 38 150 + 1;
  • 38 150 ÷ 2 = 19 075 + 0;
  • 19 075 ÷ 2 = 9 537 + 1;
  • 9 537 ÷ 2 = 4 768 + 1;
  • 4 768 ÷ 2 = 2 384 + 0;
  • 2 384 ÷ 2 = 1 192 + 0;
  • 1 192 ÷ 2 = 596 + 0;
  • 596 ÷ 2 = 298 + 0;
  • 298 ÷ 2 = 149 + 0;
  • 149 ÷ 2 = 74 + 1;
  • 74 ÷ 2 = 37 + 0;
  • 37 ÷ 2 = 18 + 1;
  • 18 ÷ 2 = 9 + 0;
  • 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
  • 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
  • 2 ÷ 2 = 1 + 0;
  • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;

2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number:

Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.

10 001 000 704(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

10 001 000 704 (base 10) = 10 0101 0100 0001 1011 0010 1001 0000 0000 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.


How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
