What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 11 001 001 111 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;
  • 11 001 001 111 ÷ 2 = 5 500 500 555 + 1;
  • 5 500 500 555 ÷ 2 = 2 750 250 277 + 1;
  • 2 750 250 277 ÷ 2 = 1 375 125 138 + 1;
  • 1 375 125 138 ÷ 2 = 687 562 569 + 0;
  • 687 562 569 ÷ 2 = 343 781 284 + 1;
  • 343 781 284 ÷ 2 = 171 890 642 + 0;
  • 171 890 642 ÷ 2 = 85 945 321 + 0;
  • 85 945 321 ÷ 2 = 42 972 660 + 1;
  • 42 972 660 ÷ 2 = 21 486 330 + 0;
  • 21 486 330 ÷ 2 = 10 743 165 + 0;
  • 10 743 165 ÷ 2 = 5 371 582 + 1;
  • 5 371 582 ÷ 2 = 2 685 791 + 0;
  • 2 685 791 ÷ 2 = 1 342 895 + 1;
  • 1 342 895 ÷ 2 = 671 447 + 1;
  • 671 447 ÷ 2 = 335 723 + 1;
  • 335 723 ÷ 2 = 167 861 + 1;
  • 167 861 ÷ 2 = 83 930 + 1;
  • 83 930 ÷ 2 = 41 965 + 0;
  • 41 965 ÷ 2 = 20 982 + 1;
  • 20 982 ÷ 2 = 10 491 + 0;
  • 10 491 ÷ 2 = 5 245 + 1;
  • 5 245 ÷ 2 = 2 622 + 1;
  • 2 622 ÷ 2 = 1 311 + 0;
  • 1 311 ÷ 2 = 655 + 1;
  • 655 ÷ 2 = 327 + 1;
  • 327 ÷ 2 = 163 + 1;
  • 163 ÷ 2 = 81 + 1;
  • 81 ÷ 2 = 40 + 1;
  • 40 ÷ 2 = 20 + 0;
  • 20 ÷ 2 = 10 + 0;
  • 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
  • 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.

11 001 001 111(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

11 001 001 111 (base 10) = 10 1000 1111 1011 0101 1111 0100 1001 0111 (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)
