What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 135 169 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;
- 135 169 ÷ 2 = 67 584 + 1;
- 67 584 ÷ 2 = 33 792 + 0;
- 33 792 ÷ 2 = 16 896 + 0;
- 16 896 ÷ 2 = 8 448 + 0;
- 8 448 ÷ 2 = 4 224 + 0;
- 4 224 ÷ 2 = 2 112 + 0;
- 2 112 ÷ 2 = 1 056 + 0;
- 1 056 ÷ 2 = 528 + 0;
- 528 ÷ 2 = 264 + 0;
- 264 ÷ 2 = 132 + 0;
- 132 ÷ 2 = 66 + 0;
- 66 ÷ 2 = 33 + 0;
- 33 ÷ 2 = 16 + 1;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 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.
135 169(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
135 169 (base 10) = 10 0001 0000 0000 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
