What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 101 000 247 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;
- 101 000 247 ÷ 2 = 50 500 123 + 1;
- 50 500 123 ÷ 2 = 25 250 061 + 1;
- 25 250 061 ÷ 2 = 12 625 030 + 1;
- 12 625 030 ÷ 2 = 6 312 515 + 0;
- 6 312 515 ÷ 2 = 3 156 257 + 1;
- 3 156 257 ÷ 2 = 1 578 128 + 1;
- 1 578 128 ÷ 2 = 789 064 + 0;
- 789 064 ÷ 2 = 394 532 + 0;
- 394 532 ÷ 2 = 197 266 + 0;
- 197 266 ÷ 2 = 98 633 + 0;
- 98 633 ÷ 2 = 49 316 + 1;
- 49 316 ÷ 2 = 24 658 + 0;
- 24 658 ÷ 2 = 12 329 + 0;
- 12 329 ÷ 2 = 6 164 + 1;
- 6 164 ÷ 2 = 3 082 + 0;
- 3 082 ÷ 2 = 1 541 + 0;
- 1 541 ÷ 2 = 770 + 1;
- 770 ÷ 2 = 385 + 0;
- 385 ÷ 2 = 192 + 1;
- 192 ÷ 2 = 96 + 0;
- 96 ÷ 2 = 48 + 0;
- 48 ÷ 2 = 24 + 0;
- 24 ÷ 2 = 12 + 0;
- 12 ÷ 2 = 6 + 0;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 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.
101 000 247(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
101 000 247 (base 10) = 110 0000 0101 0010 0100 0011 0111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
