What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 152 048 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;
- 152 048 ÷ 2 = 76 024 + 0;
- 76 024 ÷ 2 = 38 012 + 0;
- 38 012 ÷ 2 = 19 006 + 0;
- 19 006 ÷ 2 = 9 503 + 0;
- 9 503 ÷ 2 = 4 751 + 1;
- 4 751 ÷ 2 = 2 375 + 1;
- 2 375 ÷ 2 = 1 187 + 1;
- 1 187 ÷ 2 = 593 + 1;
- 593 ÷ 2 = 296 + 1;
- 296 ÷ 2 = 148 + 0;
- 148 ÷ 2 = 74 + 0;
- 74 ÷ 2 = 37 + 0;
- 37 ÷ 2 = 18 + 1;
- 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.
152 048(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
152 048 (base 10) = 10 0101 0001 1111 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
