What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 2 109 360 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;
- 2 109 360 ÷ 2 = 1 054 680 + 0;
- 1 054 680 ÷ 2 = 527 340 + 0;
- 527 340 ÷ 2 = 263 670 + 0;
- 263 670 ÷ 2 = 131 835 + 0;
- 131 835 ÷ 2 = 65 917 + 1;
- 65 917 ÷ 2 = 32 958 + 1;
- 32 958 ÷ 2 = 16 479 + 0;
- 16 479 ÷ 2 = 8 239 + 1;
- 8 239 ÷ 2 = 4 119 + 1;
- 4 119 ÷ 2 = 2 059 + 1;
- 2 059 ÷ 2 = 1 029 + 1;
- 1 029 ÷ 2 = 514 + 1;
- 514 ÷ 2 = 257 + 0;
- 257 ÷ 2 = 128 + 1;
- 128 ÷ 2 = 64 + 0;
- 64 ÷ 2 = 32 + 0;
- 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
- 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.
2 109 360(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
2 109 360 (base 10) = 10 0000 0010 1111 1011 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
