What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 120 362 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;
- 1 120 362 ÷ 2 = 560 181 + 0;
- 560 181 ÷ 2 = 280 090 + 1;
- 280 090 ÷ 2 = 140 045 + 0;
- 140 045 ÷ 2 = 70 022 + 1;
- 70 022 ÷ 2 = 35 011 + 0;
- 35 011 ÷ 2 = 17 505 + 1;
- 17 505 ÷ 2 = 8 752 + 1;
- 8 752 ÷ 2 = 4 376 + 0;
- 4 376 ÷ 2 = 2 188 + 0;
- 2 188 ÷ 2 = 1 094 + 0;
- 1 094 ÷ 2 = 547 + 0;
- 547 ÷ 2 = 273 + 1;
- 273 ÷ 2 = 136 + 1;
- 136 ÷ 2 = 68 + 0;
- 68 ÷ 2 = 34 + 0;
- 34 ÷ 2 = 17 + 0;
- 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
- 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.
1 120 362(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
1 120 362 (base 10) = 1 0001 0001 1000 0110 1010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
