Unsigned: Integer -> Binary: 1 171 Convert the Positive Integer (Whole Number) From Base Ten (10) To Base Two (2), Conversion and Writing of Decimal System Number as Unsigned Binary Code
Unsigned (positive) integer number 1 171(10)
converted and written as an unsigned binary (base 2) = ?
1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:
Keep track of each remainder.
We stop when we get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- division = quotient + remainder;
- 1 171 ÷ 2 = 585 + 1;
- 585 ÷ 2 = 292 + 1;
- 292 ÷ 2 = 146 + 0;
- 146 ÷ 2 = 73 + 0;
- 73 ÷ 2 = 36 + 1;
- 36 ÷ 2 = 18 + 0;
- 18 ÷ 2 = 9 + 0;
- 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
- 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.
Number 1 171(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):
1 171(10) = 100 1001 0011(2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
Convert positive integer numbers (unsigned) from decimal system (base ten) to binary (base two)
How to convert a base 10 positive integer number to base 2:
1) Divide the number repeatedly by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until getting a quotient that is 0;
2) Construct the base 2 representation by taking all the previously calculated remainders starting from the last remainder up to the first one, in that order.
