What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 100 110 962 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;
- 100 110 962 ÷ 2 = 50 055 481 + 0;
- 50 055 481 ÷ 2 = 25 027 740 + 1;
- 25 027 740 ÷ 2 = 12 513 870 + 0;
- 12 513 870 ÷ 2 = 6 256 935 + 0;
- 6 256 935 ÷ 2 = 3 128 467 + 1;
- 3 128 467 ÷ 2 = 1 564 233 + 1;
- 1 564 233 ÷ 2 = 782 116 + 1;
- 782 116 ÷ 2 = 391 058 + 0;
- 391 058 ÷ 2 = 195 529 + 0;
- 195 529 ÷ 2 = 97 764 + 1;
- 97 764 ÷ 2 = 48 882 + 0;
- 48 882 ÷ 2 = 24 441 + 0;
- 24 441 ÷ 2 = 12 220 + 1;
- 12 220 ÷ 2 = 6 110 + 0;
- 6 110 ÷ 2 = 3 055 + 0;
- 3 055 ÷ 2 = 1 527 + 1;
- 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.
100 110 962(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
100 110 962 (base 10) = 101 1111 0111 1001 0010 0111 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
