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.
