What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 012 004 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;
- 1 012 004 ÷ 2 = 506 002 + 0;
- 506 002 ÷ 2 = 253 001 + 0;
- 253 001 ÷ 2 = 126 500 + 1;
- 126 500 ÷ 2 = 63 250 + 0;
- 63 250 ÷ 2 = 31 625 + 0;
- 31 625 ÷ 2 = 15 812 + 1;
- 15 812 ÷ 2 = 7 906 + 0;
- 7 906 ÷ 2 = 3 953 + 0;
- 3 953 ÷ 2 = 1 976 + 1;
- 1 976 ÷ 2 = 988 + 0;
- 988 ÷ 2 = 494 + 0;
- 494 ÷ 2 = 247 + 0;
- 247 ÷ 2 = 123 + 1;
- 123 ÷ 2 = 61 + 1;
- 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.
1 012 004(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
1 012 004 (base 10) = 1111 0111 0001 0010 0100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
