What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 165 237 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;
- 165 237 ÷ 2 = 82 618 + 1;
- 82 618 ÷ 2 = 41 309 + 0;
- 41 309 ÷ 2 = 20 654 + 1;
- 20 654 ÷ 2 = 10 327 + 0;
- 10 327 ÷ 2 = 5 163 + 1;
- 5 163 ÷ 2 = 2 581 + 1;
- 2 581 ÷ 2 = 1 290 + 1;
- 1 290 ÷ 2 = 645 + 0;
- 645 ÷ 2 = 322 + 1;
- 322 ÷ 2 = 161 + 0;
- 161 ÷ 2 = 80 + 1;
- 80 ÷ 2 = 40 + 0;
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20 + 0;
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10 + 0;
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
- 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
- 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.
165 237(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
165 237 (base 10) = 10 1000 0101 0111 0101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
