What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 204 074 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;
- 204 074 ÷ 2 = 102 037 + 0;
- 102 037 ÷ 2 = 51 018 + 1;
- 51 018 ÷ 2 = 25 509 + 0;
- 25 509 ÷ 2 = 12 754 + 1;
- 12 754 ÷ 2 = 6 377 + 0;
- 6 377 ÷ 2 = 3 188 + 1;
- 3 188 ÷ 2 = 1 594 + 0;
- 1 594 ÷ 2 = 797 + 0;
- 797 ÷ 2 = 398 + 1;
- 398 ÷ 2 = 199 + 0;
- 199 ÷ 2 = 99 + 1;
- 99 ÷ 2 = 49 + 1;
- 49 ÷ 2 = 24 + 1;
- 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.
204 074(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
204 074 (base 10) = 11 0001 1101 0010 1010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
