What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 101 000 010 974 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;
  • 101 000 010 974 ÷ 2 = 50 500 005 487 + 0;

  • 24 658 205 ÷ 2 = 12 329 102 + 1;
  • 12 329 102 ÷ 2 = 6 164 551 + 0;
  • 6 164 551 ÷ 2 = 3 082 275 + 1;
  • 3 082 275 ÷ 2 = 1 541 137 + 1;
  • 1 541 137 ÷ 2 = 770 568 + 1;
  • 770 568 ÷ 2 = 385 284 + 0;
  • 385 284 ÷ 2 = 192 642 + 0;
  • 192 642 ÷ 2 = 96 321 + 0;
  • 96 321 ÷ 2 = 48 160 + 1;
  • 48 160 ÷ 2 = 24 080 + 0;
  • 24 080 ÷ 2 = 12 040 + 0;
  • 12 040 ÷ 2 = 6 020 + 0;
  • 6 020 ÷ 2 = 3 010 + 0;
  • 3 010 ÷ 2 = 1 505 + 0;
  • 1 505 ÷ 2 = 752 + 1;
  • 752 ÷ 2 = 376 + 0;
  • 376 ÷ 2 = 188 + 0;
  • 188 ÷ 2 = 94 + 0;
  • 94 ÷ 2 = 47 + 0;
  • 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.

101 000 010 974(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

101 000 010 974 (base 10) = 1 0111 1000 0100 0001 0001 1101 1100 1101 1110 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
