What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 198 367 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;
- 198 367 ÷ 2 = 99 183 + 1;
- 99 183 ÷ 2 = 49 591 + 1;
- 49 591 ÷ 2 = 24 795 + 1;
- 24 795 ÷ 2 = 12 397 + 1;
- 12 397 ÷ 2 = 6 198 + 1;
- 6 198 ÷ 2 = 3 099 + 0;
- 3 099 ÷ 2 = 1 549 + 1;
- 1 549 ÷ 2 = 774 + 1;
- 774 ÷ 2 = 387 + 0;
- 387 ÷ 2 = 193 + 1;
- 193 ÷ 2 = 96 + 1;
- 96 ÷ 2 = 48 + 0;
- 48 ÷ 2 = 24 + 0;
- 24 ÷ 2 = 12 + 0;
- 12 ÷ 2 = 6 + 0;
- 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.
198 367(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
198 367 (base 10) = 11 0000 0110 1101 1111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
