What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 152 529 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;
- 152 529 ÷ 2 = 76 264 + 1;
- 76 264 ÷ 2 = 38 132 + 0;
- 38 132 ÷ 2 = 19 066 + 0;
- 19 066 ÷ 2 = 9 533 + 0;
- 9 533 ÷ 2 = 4 766 + 1;
- 4 766 ÷ 2 = 2 383 + 0;
- 2 383 ÷ 2 = 1 191 + 1;
- 1 191 ÷ 2 = 595 + 1;
- 595 ÷ 2 = 297 + 1;
- 297 ÷ 2 = 148 + 1;
- 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.
152 529(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
152 529 (base 10) = 10 0101 0011 1101 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
