What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 32 252 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;
- 32 252 ÷ 2 = 16 126 + 0;
- 16 126 ÷ 2 = 8 063 + 0;
- 8 063 ÷ 2 = 4 031 + 1;
- 4 031 ÷ 2 = 2 015 + 1;
- 2 015 ÷ 2 = 1 007 + 1;
- 1 007 ÷ 2 = 503 + 1;
- 503 ÷ 2 = 251 + 1;
- 251 ÷ 2 = 125 + 1;
- 125 ÷ 2 = 62 + 1;
- 62 ÷ 2 = 31 + 0;
- 31 ÷ 2 = 15 + 1;
- 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
- 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.
32 252(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
32 252 (base 10) = 111 1101 1111 1100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
