What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 273 073 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;
- 273 073 ÷ 2 = 136 536 + 1;
- 136 536 ÷ 2 = 68 268 + 0;
- 68 268 ÷ 2 = 34 134 + 0;
- 34 134 ÷ 2 = 17 067 + 0;
- 17 067 ÷ 2 = 8 533 + 1;
- 8 533 ÷ 2 = 4 266 + 1;
- 4 266 ÷ 2 = 2 133 + 0;
- 2 133 ÷ 2 = 1 066 + 1;
- 1 066 ÷ 2 = 533 + 0;
- 533 ÷ 2 = 266 + 1;
- 266 ÷ 2 = 133 + 0;
- 133 ÷ 2 = 66 + 1;
- 66 ÷ 2 = 33 + 0;
- 33 ÷ 2 = 16 + 1;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 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.
273 073(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
273 073 (base 10) = 100 0010 1010 1011 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
