What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 15 359 013 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;
- 15 359 013 ÷ 2 = 7 679 506 + 1;
- 7 679 506 ÷ 2 = 3 839 753 + 0;
- 3 839 753 ÷ 2 = 1 919 876 + 1;
- 1 919 876 ÷ 2 = 959 938 + 0;
- 959 938 ÷ 2 = 479 969 + 0;
- 479 969 ÷ 2 = 239 984 + 1;
- 239 984 ÷ 2 = 119 992 + 0;
- 119 992 ÷ 2 = 59 996 + 0;
- 59 996 ÷ 2 = 29 998 + 0;
- 29 998 ÷ 2 = 14 999 + 0;
- 14 999 ÷ 2 = 7 499 + 1;
- 7 499 ÷ 2 = 3 749 + 1;
- 3 749 ÷ 2 = 1 874 + 1;
- 1 874 ÷ 2 = 937 + 0;
- 937 ÷ 2 = 468 + 1;
- 468 ÷ 2 = 234 + 0;
- 234 ÷ 2 = 117 + 0;
- 117 ÷ 2 = 58 + 1;
- 58 ÷ 2 = 29 + 0;
- 29 ÷ 2 = 14 + 1;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 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.
15 359 013(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
15 359 013 (base 10) = 1110 1010 0101 1100 0010 0101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
