What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 2 321 313 871 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;
  • 2 321 313 871 ÷ 2 = 1 160 656 935 + 1;
  • 1 160 656 935 ÷ 2 = 580 328 467 + 1;
  • 580 328 467 ÷ 2 = 290 164 233 + 1;
  • 290 164 233 ÷ 2 = 145 082 116 + 1;
  • 145 082 116 ÷ 2 = 72 541 058 + 0;
  • 72 541 058 ÷ 2 = 36 270 529 + 0;
  • 36 270 529 ÷ 2 = 18 135 264 + 1;
  • 18 135 264 ÷ 2 = 9 067 632 + 0;
  • 9 067 632 ÷ 2 = 4 533 816 + 0;
  • 4 533 816 ÷ 2 = 2 266 908 + 0;
  • 2 266 908 ÷ 2 = 1 133 454 + 0;
  • 1 133 454 ÷ 2 = 566 727 + 0;
  • 566 727 ÷ 2 = 283 363 + 1;
  • 283 363 ÷ 2 = 141 681 + 1;
  • 141 681 ÷ 2 = 70 840 + 1;
  • 70 840 ÷ 2 = 35 420 + 0;
  • 35 420 ÷ 2 = 17 710 + 0;
  • 17 710 ÷ 2 = 8 855 + 0;
  • 8 855 ÷ 2 = 4 427 + 1;
  • 4 427 ÷ 2 = 2 213 + 1;
  • 2 213 ÷ 2 = 1 106 + 1;
  • 1 106 ÷ 2 = 553 + 0;
  • 553 ÷ 2 = 276 + 1;
  • 276 ÷ 2 = 138 + 0;
  • 138 ÷ 2 = 69 + 0;
  • 69 ÷ 2 = 34 + 1;
  • 34 ÷ 2 = 17 + 0;
  • 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
  • 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.

2 321 313 871(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

2 321 313 871 (base 10) = 1000 1010 0101 1100 0111 0000 0100 1111 (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)
