What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 1 704 904 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;
- 1 704 904 ÷ 2 = 852 452 + 0;
- 852 452 ÷ 2 = 426 226 + 0;
- 426 226 ÷ 2 = 213 113 + 0;
- 213 113 ÷ 2 = 106 556 + 1;
- 106 556 ÷ 2 = 53 278 + 0;
- 53 278 ÷ 2 = 26 639 + 0;
- 26 639 ÷ 2 = 13 319 + 1;
- 13 319 ÷ 2 = 6 659 + 1;
- 6 659 ÷ 2 = 3 329 + 1;
- 3 329 ÷ 2 = 1 664 + 1;
- 1 664 ÷ 2 = 832 + 0;
- 832 ÷ 2 = 416 + 0;
- 416 ÷ 2 = 208 + 0;
- 208 ÷ 2 = 104 + 0;
- 104 ÷ 2 = 52 + 0;
- 52 ÷ 2 = 26 + 0;
- 26 ÷ 2 = 13 + 0;
- 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 number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
1 704 904(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
1 704 904 (base 10) = 1 1010 0000 0011 1100 1000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
