What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 200 045 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;
- 200 045 ÷ 2 = 100 022 + 1;
- 100 022 ÷ 2 = 50 011 + 0;
- 50 011 ÷ 2 = 25 005 + 1;
- 25 005 ÷ 2 = 12 502 + 1;
- 12 502 ÷ 2 = 6 251 + 0;
- 6 251 ÷ 2 = 3 125 + 1;
- 3 125 ÷ 2 = 1 562 + 1;
- 1 562 ÷ 2 = 781 + 0;
- 781 ÷ 2 = 390 + 1;
- 390 ÷ 2 = 195 + 0;
- 195 ÷ 2 = 97 + 1;
- 97 ÷ 2 = 48 + 1;
- 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.
200 045(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
200 045 (base 10) = 11 0000 1101 0110 1101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
