How to convert the base ten number 36 352 to base two:
- 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.
To convert a base ten unsigned number (written in decimal system) to base two (written in binary), follow the steps below.
- Divide the number repeatedly by 2: keep track of each remainder.
- Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number: take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
- Below you can see the conversion process to base two and the related calculations.
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;
- 36 352 ÷ 2 = 18 176 + 0;
- 18 176 ÷ 2 = 9 088 + 0;
- 9 088 ÷ 2 = 4 544 + 0;
- 4 544 ÷ 2 = 2 272 + 0;
- 2 272 ÷ 2 = 1 136 + 0;
- 1 136 ÷ 2 = 568 + 0;
- 568 ÷ 2 = 284 + 0;
- 284 ÷ 2 = 142 + 0;
- 142 ÷ 2 = 71 + 0;
- 71 ÷ 2 = 35 + 1;
- 35 ÷ 2 = 17 + 1;
- 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
- 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.
Number 36 352(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):
36 352 (base 10) = 1000 1110 0000 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
