What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 346 355 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;
- 346 355 ÷ 2 = 173 177 + 1;
- 173 177 ÷ 2 = 86 588 + 1;
- 86 588 ÷ 2 = 43 294 + 0;
- 43 294 ÷ 2 = 21 647 + 0;
- 21 647 ÷ 2 = 10 823 + 1;
- 10 823 ÷ 2 = 5 411 + 1;
- 5 411 ÷ 2 = 2 705 + 1;
- 2 705 ÷ 2 = 1 352 + 1;
- 1 352 ÷ 2 = 676 + 0;
- 676 ÷ 2 = 338 + 0;
- 338 ÷ 2 = 169 + 0;
- 169 ÷ 2 = 84 + 1;
- 84 ÷ 2 = 42 + 0;
- 42 ÷ 2 = 21 + 0;
- 21 ÷ 2 = 10 + 1;
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
- 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.
346 355(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
346 355 (base 10) = 101 0100 1000 1111 0011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
