What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 11 111 101 524 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;
  • 11 111 101 524 ÷ 2 = 5 555 550 762 + 0;
  • 5 555 550 762 ÷ 2 = 2 777 775 381 + 0;
  • 2 777 775 381 ÷ 2 = 1 388 887 690 + 1;
  • 1 388 887 690 ÷ 2 = 694 443 845 + 0;
  • 694 443 845 ÷ 2 = 347 221 922 + 1;
  • 347 221 922 ÷ 2 = 173 610 961 + 0;
  • 173 610 961 ÷ 2 = 86 805 480 + 1;
  • 86 805 480 ÷ 2 = 43 402 740 + 0;
  • 43 402 740 ÷ 2 = 21 701 370 + 0;
  • 21 701 370 ÷ 2 = 10 850 685 + 0;
  • 10 850 685 ÷ 2 = 5 425 342 + 1;
  • 5 425 342 ÷ 2 = 2 712 671 + 0;
  • 2 712 671 ÷ 2 = 1 356 335 + 1;
  • 1 356 335 ÷ 2 = 678 167 + 1;
  • 678 167 ÷ 2 = 339 083 + 1;
  • 339 083 ÷ 2 = 169 541 + 1;
  • 169 541 ÷ 2 = 84 770 + 1;
  • 84 770 ÷ 2 = 42 385 + 0;
  • 42 385 ÷ 2 = 21 192 + 1;
  • 21 192 ÷ 2 = 10 596 + 0;
  • 10 596 ÷ 2 = 5 298 + 0;
  • 5 298 ÷ 2 = 2 649 + 0;
  • 2 649 ÷ 2 = 1 324 + 1;
  • 1 324 ÷ 2 = 662 + 0;
  • 662 ÷ 2 = 331 + 0;
  • 331 ÷ 2 = 165 + 1;
  • 165 ÷ 2 = 82 + 1;
  • 82 ÷ 2 = 41 + 0;
  • 41 ÷ 2 = 20 + 1;
  • 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.

11 111 101 524(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

11 111 101 524 (base 10) = 10 1001 0110 0100 0101 1111 0100 0101 0100 (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)
