What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 364 258 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;
- 364 258 ÷ 2 = 182 129 + 0;
- 182 129 ÷ 2 = 91 064 + 1;
- 91 064 ÷ 2 = 45 532 + 0;
- 45 532 ÷ 2 = 22 766 + 0;
- 22 766 ÷ 2 = 11 383 + 0;
- 11 383 ÷ 2 = 5 691 + 1;
- 5 691 ÷ 2 = 2 845 + 1;
- 2 845 ÷ 2 = 1 422 + 1;
- 1 422 ÷ 2 = 711 + 0;
- 711 ÷ 2 = 355 + 1;
- 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.
364 258(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
364 258 (base 10) = 101 1000 1110 1110 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
