What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 2 147 438 587 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;
  • 2 147 438 587 ÷ 2 = 1 073 719 293 + 1;
  • 1 073 719 293 ÷ 2 = 536 859 646 + 1;
  • 536 859 646 ÷ 2 = 268 429 823 + 0;
  • 268 429 823 ÷ 2 = 134 214 911 + 1;
  • 134 214 911 ÷ 2 = 67 107 455 + 1;
  • 67 107 455 ÷ 2 = 33 553 727 + 1;
  • 33 553 727 ÷ 2 = 16 776 863 + 1;
  • 16 776 863 ÷ 2 = 8 388 431 + 1;
  • 8 388 431 ÷ 2 = 4 194 215 + 1;
  • 4 194 215 ÷ 2 = 2 097 107 + 1;
  • 2 097 107 ÷ 2 = 1 048 553 + 1;
  • 1 048 553 ÷ 2 = 524 276 + 1;
  • 524 276 ÷ 2 = 262 138 + 0;
  • 262 138 ÷ 2 = 131 069 + 0;
  • 131 069 ÷ 2 = 65 534 + 1;
  • 65 534 ÷ 2 = 32 767 + 0;
  • 32 767 ÷ 2 = 16 383 + 1;
  • 16 383 ÷ 2 = 8 191 + 1;
  • 8 191 ÷ 2 = 4 095 + 1;
  • 4 095 ÷ 2 = 2 047 + 1;
  • 2 047 ÷ 2 = 1 023 + 1;
  • 1 023 ÷ 2 = 511 + 1;
  • 511 ÷ 2 = 255 + 1;
  • 255 ÷ 2 = 127 + 1;
  • 127 ÷ 2 = 63 + 1;
  • 63 ÷ 2 = 31 + 1;
  • 31 ÷ 2 = 15 + 1;
  • 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
  • 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
  • 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.

2 147 438 587(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

2 147 438 587 (base 10) = 111 1111 1111 1111 0100 1111 1111 1011 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
