How to convert the base ten number 1 001 000 043 to base two:
- 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.
To convert a base ten unsigned number (written in decimal system) to base two (written in binary), follow the steps below.
- Divide the number repeatedly by 2: keep track of each remainder.
- Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number: take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
- Below you can see the conversion process to base two and the related calculations.
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;
- 1 001 000 043 ÷ 2 = 500 500 021 + 1;
- 500 500 021 ÷ 2 = 250 250 010 + 1;
- 250 250 010 ÷ 2 = 125 125 005 + 0;
- 125 125 005 ÷ 2 = 62 562 502 + 1;
- 62 562 502 ÷ 2 = 31 281 251 + 0;
- 31 281 251 ÷ 2 = 15 640 625 + 1;
- 15 640 625 ÷ 2 = 7 820 312 + 1;
- 7 820 312 ÷ 2 = 3 910 156 + 0;
- 3 910 156 ÷ 2 = 1 955 078 + 0;
- 1 955 078 ÷ 2 = 977 539 + 0;
- 977 539 ÷ 2 = 488 769 + 1;
- 488 769 ÷ 2 = 244 384 + 1;
- 244 384 ÷ 2 = 122 192 + 0;
- 122 192 ÷ 2 = 61 096 + 0;
- 61 096 ÷ 2 = 30 548 + 0;
- 30 548 ÷ 2 = 15 274 + 0;
- 15 274 ÷ 2 = 7 637 + 0;
- 7 637 ÷ 2 = 3 818 + 1;
- 3 818 ÷ 2 = 1 909 + 0;
- 1 909 ÷ 2 = 954 + 1;
- 954 ÷ 2 = 477 + 0;
- 477 ÷ 2 = 238 + 1;
- 238 ÷ 2 = 119 + 0;
- 119 ÷ 2 = 59 + 1;
- 59 ÷ 2 = 29 + 1;
- 29 ÷ 2 = 14 + 1;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 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.
Number 1 001 000 043(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):
1 001 000 043 (base 10) = 11 1011 1010 1010 0000 1100 0110 1011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
