What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 153 804 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;
- 153 804 ÷ 2 = 76 902 + 0;
- 76 902 ÷ 2 = 38 451 + 0;
- 38 451 ÷ 2 = 19 225 + 1;
- 19 225 ÷ 2 = 9 612 + 1;
- 9 612 ÷ 2 = 4 806 + 0;
- 4 806 ÷ 2 = 2 403 + 0;
- 2 403 ÷ 2 = 1 201 + 1;
- 1 201 ÷ 2 = 600 + 1;
- 600 ÷ 2 = 300 + 0;
- 300 ÷ 2 = 150 + 0;
- 150 ÷ 2 = 75 + 0;
- 75 ÷ 2 = 37 + 1;
- 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.
153 804(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
153 804 (base 10) = 10 0101 1000 1100 1100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
