What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 148 077 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;
- 148 077 ÷ 2 = 74 038 + 1;
- 74 038 ÷ 2 = 37 019 + 0;
- 37 019 ÷ 2 = 18 509 + 1;
- 18 509 ÷ 2 = 9 254 + 1;
- 9 254 ÷ 2 = 4 627 + 0;
- 4 627 ÷ 2 = 2 313 + 1;
- 2 313 ÷ 2 = 1 156 + 1;
- 1 156 ÷ 2 = 578 + 0;
- 578 ÷ 2 = 289 + 0;
- 289 ÷ 2 = 144 + 1;
- 144 ÷ 2 = 72 + 0;
- 72 ÷ 2 = 36 + 0;
- 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.
148 077(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
148 077 (base 10) = 10 0100 0010 0110 1101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
