What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 29 047 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;
- 29 047 ÷ 2 = 14 523 + 1;
- 14 523 ÷ 2 = 7 261 + 1;
- 7 261 ÷ 2 = 3 630 + 1;
- 3 630 ÷ 2 = 1 815 + 0;
- 1 815 ÷ 2 = 907 + 1;
- 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.
29 047(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
29 047 (base 10) = 111 0001 0111 0111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
