What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 001 104 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;
- 1 001 104 ÷ 2 = 500 552 + 0;
- 500 552 ÷ 2 = 250 276 + 0;
- 250 276 ÷ 2 = 125 138 + 0;
- 125 138 ÷ 2 = 62 569 + 0;
- 62 569 ÷ 2 = 31 284 + 1;
- 31 284 ÷ 2 = 15 642 + 0;
- 15 642 ÷ 2 = 7 821 + 0;
- 7 821 ÷ 2 = 3 910 + 1;
- 3 910 ÷ 2 = 1 955 + 0;
- 1 955 ÷ 2 = 977 + 1;
- 977 ÷ 2 = 488 + 1;
- 488 ÷ 2 = 244 + 0;
- 244 ÷ 2 = 122 + 0;
- 122 ÷ 2 = 61 + 0;
- 61 ÷ 2 = 30 + 1;
- 30 ÷ 2 = 15 + 0;
- 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
- 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.
1 001 104(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
1 001 104 (base 10) = 1111 0100 0110 1001 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
