What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 100 020 153 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;
- 100 020 153 ÷ 2 = 50 010 076 + 1;
- 50 010 076 ÷ 2 = 25 005 038 + 0;
- 25 005 038 ÷ 2 = 12 502 519 + 0;
- 12 502 519 ÷ 2 = 6 251 259 + 1;
- 6 251 259 ÷ 2 = 3 125 629 + 1;
- 3 125 629 ÷ 2 = 1 562 814 + 1;
- 1 562 814 ÷ 2 = 781 407 + 0;
- 781 407 ÷ 2 = 390 703 + 1;
- 390 703 ÷ 2 = 195 351 + 1;
- 195 351 ÷ 2 = 97 675 + 1;
- 97 675 ÷ 2 = 48 837 + 1;
- 48 837 ÷ 2 = 24 418 + 1;
- 24 418 ÷ 2 = 12 209 + 0;
- 12 209 ÷ 2 = 6 104 + 1;
- 6 104 ÷ 2 = 3 052 + 0;
- 3 052 ÷ 2 = 1 526 + 0;
- 1 526 ÷ 2 = 763 + 0;
- 763 ÷ 2 = 381 + 1;
- 381 ÷ 2 = 190 + 1;
- 190 ÷ 2 = 95 + 0;
- 95 ÷ 2 = 47 + 1;
- 47 ÷ 2 = 23 + 1;
- 23 ÷ 2 = 11 + 1;
- 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
- 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
- 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.
100 020 153(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
100 020 153 (base 10) = 101 1111 0110 0010 1111 1011 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
