What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 103 492 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;
- 103 492 ÷ 2 = 51 746 + 0;
- 51 746 ÷ 2 = 25 873 + 0;
- 25 873 ÷ 2 = 12 936 + 1;
- 12 936 ÷ 2 = 6 468 + 0;
- 6 468 ÷ 2 = 3 234 + 0;
- 3 234 ÷ 2 = 1 617 + 0;
- 1 617 ÷ 2 = 808 + 1;
- 808 ÷ 2 = 404 + 0;
- 404 ÷ 2 = 202 + 0;
- 202 ÷ 2 = 101 + 0;
- 101 ÷ 2 = 50 + 1;
- 50 ÷ 2 = 25 + 0;
- 25 ÷ 2 = 12 + 1;
- 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.
103 492(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
103 492 (base 10) = 1 1001 0100 0100 0100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
