What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 300 000 012 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;
- 300 000 012 ÷ 2 = 150 000 006 + 0;
- 150 000 006 ÷ 2 = 75 000 003 + 0;
- 75 000 003 ÷ 2 = 37 500 001 + 1;
- 37 500 001 ÷ 2 = 18 750 000 + 1;
- 18 750 000 ÷ 2 = 9 375 000 + 0;
- 9 375 000 ÷ 2 = 4 687 500 + 0;
- 4 687 500 ÷ 2 = 2 343 750 + 0;
- 2 343 750 ÷ 2 = 1 171 875 + 0;
- 1 171 875 ÷ 2 = 585 937 + 1;
- 585 937 ÷ 2 = 292 968 + 1;
- 292 968 ÷ 2 = 146 484 + 0;
- 146 484 ÷ 2 = 73 242 + 0;
- 73 242 ÷ 2 = 36 621 + 0;
- 36 621 ÷ 2 = 18 310 + 1;
- 18 310 ÷ 2 = 9 155 + 0;
- 9 155 ÷ 2 = 4 577 + 1;
- 4 577 ÷ 2 = 2 288 + 1;
- 2 288 ÷ 2 = 1 144 + 0;
- 1 144 ÷ 2 = 572 + 0;
- 572 ÷ 2 = 286 + 0;
- 286 ÷ 2 = 143 + 0;
- 143 ÷ 2 = 71 + 1;
- 71 ÷ 2 = 35 + 1;
- 35 ÷ 2 = 17 + 1;
- 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
- 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.
300 000 012(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
300 000 012 (base 10) = 1 0001 1110 0001 1010 0011 0000 1100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
