What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 142 227 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;
- 142 227 ÷ 2 = 71 113 + 1;
- 71 113 ÷ 2 = 35 556 + 1;
- 35 556 ÷ 2 = 17 778 + 0;
- 17 778 ÷ 2 = 8 889 + 0;
- 8 889 ÷ 2 = 4 444 + 1;
- 4 444 ÷ 2 = 2 222 + 0;
- 2 222 ÷ 2 = 1 111 + 0;
- 1 111 ÷ 2 = 555 + 1;
- 555 ÷ 2 = 277 + 1;
- 277 ÷ 2 = 138 + 1;
- 138 ÷ 2 = 69 + 0;
- 69 ÷ 2 = 34 + 1;
- 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.
142 227(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
142 227 (base 10) = 10 0010 1011 1001 0011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
