What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 232 243 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;
- 232 243 ÷ 2 = 116 121 + 1;
- 116 121 ÷ 2 = 58 060 + 1;
- 58 060 ÷ 2 = 29 030 + 0;
- 29 030 ÷ 2 = 14 515 + 0;
- 14 515 ÷ 2 = 7 257 + 1;
- 7 257 ÷ 2 = 3 628 + 1;
- 3 628 ÷ 2 = 1 814 + 0;
- 1 814 ÷ 2 = 907 + 0;
- 907 ÷ 2 = 453 + 1;
- 453 ÷ 2 = 226 + 1;
- 226 ÷ 2 = 113 + 0;
- 113 ÷ 2 = 56 + 1;
- 56 ÷ 2 = 28 + 0;
- 28 ÷ 2 = 14 + 0;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 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.
232 243(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
232 243 (base 10) = 11 1000 1011 0011 0011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
