What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 3 201 231 488 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;
  • 3 201 231 488 ÷ 2 = 1 600 615 744 + 0;
  • 1 600 615 744 ÷ 2 = 800 307 872 + 0;
  • 800 307 872 ÷ 2 = 400 153 936 + 0;
  • 400 153 936 ÷ 2 = 200 076 968 + 0;
  • 200 076 968 ÷ 2 = 100 038 484 + 0;
  • 100 038 484 ÷ 2 = 50 019 242 + 0;
  • 50 019 242 ÷ 2 = 25 009 621 + 0;
  • 25 009 621 ÷ 2 = 12 504 810 + 1;
  • 12 504 810 ÷ 2 = 6 252 405 + 0;
  • 6 252 405 ÷ 2 = 3 126 202 + 1;
  • 3 126 202 ÷ 2 = 1 563 101 + 0;
  • 1 563 101 ÷ 2 = 781 550 + 1;
  • 781 550 ÷ 2 = 390 775 + 0;
  • 390 775 ÷ 2 = 195 387 + 1;
  • 195 387 ÷ 2 = 97 693 + 1;
  • 97 693 ÷ 2 = 48 846 + 1;
  • 48 846 ÷ 2 = 24 423 + 0;
  • 24 423 ÷ 2 = 12 211 + 1;
  • 12 211 ÷ 2 = 6 105 + 1;
  • 6 105 ÷ 2 = 3 052 + 1;
  • 3 052 ÷ 2 = 1 526 + 0;
  • 1 526 ÷ 2 = 763 + 0;
  • 763 ÷ 2 = 381 + 1;
  • 381 ÷ 2 = 190 + 1;
  • 190 ÷ 2 = 95 + 0;
  • 95 ÷ 2 = 47 + 1;
  • 47 ÷ 2 = 23 + 1;
  • 23 ÷ 2 = 11 + 1;
  • 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
  • 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
  • 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.

3 201 231 488(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

3 201 231 488 (base 10) = 1011 1110 1100 1110 1110 1010 1000 0000 (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)
