What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 100 101 315 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;
- 100 101 315 ÷ 2 = 50 050 657 + 1;
- 50 050 657 ÷ 2 = 25 025 328 + 1;
- 25 025 328 ÷ 2 = 12 512 664 + 0;
- 12 512 664 ÷ 2 = 6 256 332 + 0;
- 6 256 332 ÷ 2 = 3 128 166 + 0;
- 3 128 166 ÷ 2 = 1 564 083 + 0;
- 1 564 083 ÷ 2 = 782 041 + 1;
- 782 041 ÷ 2 = 391 020 + 1;
- 391 020 ÷ 2 = 195 510 + 0;
- 195 510 ÷ 2 = 97 755 + 0;
- 97 755 ÷ 2 = 48 877 + 1;
- 48 877 ÷ 2 = 24 438 + 1;
- 24 438 ÷ 2 = 12 219 + 0;
- 12 219 ÷ 2 = 6 109 + 1;
- 6 109 ÷ 2 = 3 054 + 1;
- 3 054 ÷ 2 = 1 527 + 0;
- 1 527 ÷ 2 = 763 + 1;
- 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.
100 101 315(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
100 101 315 (base 10) = 101 1111 0111 0110 1100 1100 0011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
