What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 2 500 900 167 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;
  • 2 500 900 167 ÷ 2 = 1 250 450 083 + 1;
  • 1 250 450 083 ÷ 2 = 625 225 041 + 1;
  • 625 225 041 ÷ 2 = 312 612 520 + 1;
  • 312 612 520 ÷ 2 = 156 306 260 + 0;
  • 156 306 260 ÷ 2 = 78 153 130 + 0;
  • 78 153 130 ÷ 2 = 39 076 565 + 0;
  • 39 076 565 ÷ 2 = 19 538 282 + 1;
  • 19 538 282 ÷ 2 = 9 769 141 + 0;
  • 9 769 141 ÷ 2 = 4 884 570 + 1;
  • 4 884 570 ÷ 2 = 2 442 285 + 0;
  • 2 442 285 ÷ 2 = 1 221 142 + 1;
  • 1 221 142 ÷ 2 = 610 571 + 0;
  • 610 571 ÷ 2 = 305 285 + 1;
  • 305 285 ÷ 2 = 152 642 + 1;
  • 152 642 ÷ 2 = 76 321 + 0;
  • 76 321 ÷ 2 = 38 160 + 1;
  • 38 160 ÷ 2 = 19 080 + 0;
  • 19 080 ÷ 2 = 9 540 + 0;
  • 9 540 ÷ 2 = 4 770 + 0;
  • 4 770 ÷ 2 = 2 385 + 0;
  • 2 385 ÷ 2 = 1 192 + 1;
  • 1 192 ÷ 2 = 596 + 0;
  • 596 ÷ 2 = 298 + 0;
  • 298 ÷ 2 = 149 + 0;
  • 149 ÷ 2 = 74 + 1;
  • 74 ÷ 2 = 37 + 0;
  • 37 ÷ 2 = 18 + 1;
  • 18 ÷ 2 = 9 + 0;
  • 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
  • 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.

2 500 900 167(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

2 500 900 167 (base 10) = 1001 0101 0001 0000 1011 0101 0100 0111 (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)
