What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 160 448 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;
- 160 448 ÷ 2 = 80 224 + 0;
- 80 224 ÷ 2 = 40 112 + 0;
- 40 112 ÷ 2 = 20 056 + 0;
- 20 056 ÷ 2 = 10 028 + 0;
- 10 028 ÷ 2 = 5 014 + 0;
- 5 014 ÷ 2 = 2 507 + 0;
- 2 507 ÷ 2 = 1 253 + 1;
- 1 253 ÷ 2 = 626 + 1;
- 626 ÷ 2 = 313 + 0;
- 313 ÷ 2 = 156 + 1;
- 156 ÷ 2 = 78 + 0;
- 78 ÷ 2 = 39 + 0;
- 39 ÷ 2 = 19 + 1;
- 19 ÷ 2 = 9 + 1;
- 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.
160 448(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
160 448 (base 10) = 10 0111 0010 1100 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
