What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 3 162 281 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;
- 3 162 281 ÷ 2 = 1 581 140 + 1;
- 1 581 140 ÷ 2 = 790 570 + 0;
- 790 570 ÷ 2 = 395 285 + 0;
- 395 285 ÷ 2 = 197 642 + 1;
- 197 642 ÷ 2 = 98 821 + 0;
- 98 821 ÷ 2 = 49 410 + 1;
- 49 410 ÷ 2 = 24 705 + 0;
- 24 705 ÷ 2 = 12 352 + 1;
- 12 352 ÷ 2 = 6 176 + 0;
- 6 176 ÷ 2 = 3 088 + 0;
- 3 088 ÷ 2 = 1 544 + 0;
- 1 544 ÷ 2 = 772 + 0;
- 772 ÷ 2 = 386 + 0;
- 386 ÷ 2 = 193 + 0;
- 193 ÷ 2 = 96 + 1;
- 96 ÷ 2 = 48 + 0;
- 48 ÷ 2 = 24 + 0;
- 24 ÷ 2 = 12 + 0;
- 12 ÷ 2 = 6 + 0;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 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.
3 162 281(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
3 162 281 (base 10) = 11 0000 0100 0000 1010 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
