What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 499 999 972 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;
  • 1 499 999 972 ÷ 2 = 749 999 986 + 0;
  • 749 999 986 ÷ 2 = 374 999 993 + 0;
  • 374 999 993 ÷ 2 = 187 499 996 + 1;
  • 187 499 996 ÷ 2 = 93 749 998 + 0;
  • 93 749 998 ÷ 2 = 46 874 999 + 0;
  • 46 874 999 ÷ 2 = 23 437 499 + 1;
  • 23 437 499 ÷ 2 = 11 718 749 + 1;
  • 11 718 749 ÷ 2 = 5 859 374 + 1;
  • 5 859 374 ÷ 2 = 2 929 687 + 0;
  • 2 929 687 ÷ 2 = 1 464 843 + 1;
  • 1 464 843 ÷ 2 = 732 421 + 1;
  • 732 421 ÷ 2 = 366 210 + 1;
  • 366 210 ÷ 2 = 183 105 + 0;
  • 183 105 ÷ 2 = 91 552 + 1;
  • 91 552 ÷ 2 = 45 776 + 0;
  • 45 776 ÷ 2 = 22 888 + 0;
  • 22 888 ÷ 2 = 11 444 + 0;
  • 11 444 ÷ 2 = 5 722 + 0;
  • 5 722 ÷ 2 = 2 861 + 0;
  • 2 861 ÷ 2 = 1 430 + 1;
  • 1 430 ÷ 2 = 715 + 0;
  • 715 ÷ 2 = 357 + 1;
  • 357 ÷ 2 = 178 + 1;
  • 178 ÷ 2 = 89 + 0;
  • 89 ÷ 2 = 44 + 1;
  • 44 ÷ 2 = 22 + 0;
  • 22 ÷ 2 = 11 + 0;
  • 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
  • 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
  • 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.

1 499 999 972(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

1 499 999 972 (base 10) = 101 1001 0110 1000 0010 1110 1110 0100 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
