Unsigned (positive) integer number 16 977 981(10)
converted and written as an unsigned binary (base 2) = ?

1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:

Keep track of each remainder.

We stop when we get a quotient that is equal to zero.

  • division = quotient + remainder;
  • 16 977 981 ÷ 2 = 8 488 990 + 1;
  • 8 488 990 ÷ 2 = 4 244 495 + 0;
  • 4 244 495 ÷ 2 = 2 122 247 + 1;
  • 2 122 247 ÷ 2 = 1 061 123 + 1;
  • 1 061 123 ÷ 2 = 530 561 + 1;
  • 530 561 ÷ 2 = 265 280 + 1;
  • 265 280 ÷ 2 = 132 640 + 0;
  • 132 640 ÷ 2 = 66 320 + 0;
  • 66 320 ÷ 2 = 33 160 + 0;
  • 33 160 ÷ 2 = 16 580 + 0;
  • 16 580 ÷ 2 = 8 290 + 0;
  • 8 290 ÷ 2 = 4 145 + 0;
  • 4 145 ÷ 2 = 2 072 + 1;
  • 2 072 ÷ 2 = 1 036 + 0;
  • 1 036 ÷ 2 = 518 + 0;
  • 518 ÷ 2 = 259 + 0;
  • 259 ÷ 2 = 129 + 1;
  • 129 ÷ 2 = 64 + 1;
  • 64 ÷ 2 = 32 + 0;
  • 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
  • 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
  • 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
  • 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.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base ten to base two

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
    55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
