What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 363 672 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;
- 363 672 ÷ 2 = 181 836 + 0;
- 181 836 ÷ 2 = 90 918 + 0;
- 90 918 ÷ 2 = 45 459 + 0;
- 45 459 ÷ 2 = 22 729 + 1;
- 22 729 ÷ 2 = 11 364 + 1;
- 11 364 ÷ 2 = 5 682 + 0;
- 5 682 ÷ 2 = 2 841 + 0;
- 2 841 ÷ 2 = 1 420 + 1;
- 1 420 ÷ 2 = 710 + 0;
- 710 ÷ 2 = 355 + 0;
- 355 ÷ 2 = 177 + 1;
- 177 ÷ 2 = 88 + 1;
- 88 ÷ 2 = 44 + 0;
- 44 ÷ 2 = 22 + 0;
- 22 ÷ 2 = 11 + 0;
- 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.
363 672(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
363 672 (base 10) = 101 1000 1100 1001 1000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
