What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 121 530 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;
- 1 121 530 ÷ 2 = 560 765 + 0;
- 560 765 ÷ 2 = 280 382 + 1;
- 280 382 ÷ 2 = 140 191 + 0;
- 140 191 ÷ 2 = 70 095 + 1;
- 70 095 ÷ 2 = 35 047 + 1;
- 35 047 ÷ 2 = 17 523 + 1;
- 17 523 ÷ 2 = 8 761 + 1;
- 8 761 ÷ 2 = 4 380 + 1;
- 4 380 ÷ 2 = 2 190 + 0;
- 2 190 ÷ 2 = 1 095 + 0;
- 1 095 ÷ 2 = 547 + 1;
- 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.
1 121 530(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
1 121 530 (base 10) = 1 0001 0001 1100 1111 1010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
