What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 245 375 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;
- 245 375 ÷ 2 = 122 687 + 1;
- 122 687 ÷ 2 = 61 343 + 1;
- 61 343 ÷ 2 = 30 671 + 1;
- 30 671 ÷ 2 = 15 335 + 1;
- 15 335 ÷ 2 = 7 667 + 1;
- 7 667 ÷ 2 = 3 833 + 1;
- 3 833 ÷ 2 = 1 916 + 1;
- 1 916 ÷ 2 = 958 + 0;
- 958 ÷ 2 = 479 + 0;
- 479 ÷ 2 = 239 + 1;
- 239 ÷ 2 = 119 + 1;
- 119 ÷ 2 = 59 + 1;
- 59 ÷ 2 = 29 + 1;
- 29 ÷ 2 = 14 + 1;
- 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.
245 375(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
245 375 (base 10) = 11 1011 1110 0111 1111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
