What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 21 022 021 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;
- 21 022 021 ÷ 2 = 10 511 010 + 1;
- 10 511 010 ÷ 2 = 5 255 505 + 0;
- 5 255 505 ÷ 2 = 2 627 752 + 1;
- 2 627 752 ÷ 2 = 1 313 876 + 0;
- 1 313 876 ÷ 2 = 656 938 + 0;
- 656 938 ÷ 2 = 328 469 + 0;
- 328 469 ÷ 2 = 164 234 + 1;
- 164 234 ÷ 2 = 82 117 + 0;
- 82 117 ÷ 2 = 41 058 + 1;
- 41 058 ÷ 2 = 20 529 + 0;
- 20 529 ÷ 2 = 10 264 + 1;
- 10 264 ÷ 2 = 5 132 + 0;
- 5 132 ÷ 2 = 2 566 + 0;
- 2 566 ÷ 2 = 1 283 + 0;
- 1 283 ÷ 2 = 641 + 1;
- 641 ÷ 2 = 320 + 1;
- 320 ÷ 2 = 160 + 0;
- 160 ÷ 2 = 80 + 0;
- 80 ÷ 2 = 40 + 0;
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20 + 0;
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10 + 0;
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
- 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
- 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.
21 022 021(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
21 022 021 (base 10) = 1 0100 0000 1100 0101 0100 0101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
