What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 346 442 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;
- 346 442 ÷ 2 = 173 221 + 0;
- 173 221 ÷ 2 = 86 610 + 1;
- 86 610 ÷ 2 = 43 305 + 0;
- 43 305 ÷ 2 = 21 652 + 1;
- 21 652 ÷ 2 = 10 826 + 0;
- 10 826 ÷ 2 = 5 413 + 0;
- 5 413 ÷ 2 = 2 706 + 1;
- 2 706 ÷ 2 = 1 353 + 0;
- 1 353 ÷ 2 = 676 + 1;
- 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.
346 442(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
346 442 (base 10) = 101 0100 1001 0100 1010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
