What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 3 772 953 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;
- 3 772 953 ÷ 2 = 1 886 476 + 1;
- 1 886 476 ÷ 2 = 943 238 + 0;
- 943 238 ÷ 2 = 471 619 + 0;
- 471 619 ÷ 2 = 235 809 + 1;
- 235 809 ÷ 2 = 117 904 + 1;
- 117 904 ÷ 2 = 58 952 + 0;
- 58 952 ÷ 2 = 29 476 + 0;
- 29 476 ÷ 2 = 14 738 + 0;
- 14 738 ÷ 2 = 7 369 + 0;
- 7 369 ÷ 2 = 3 684 + 1;
- 3 684 ÷ 2 = 1 842 + 0;
- 1 842 ÷ 2 = 921 + 0;
- 921 ÷ 2 = 460 + 1;
- 460 ÷ 2 = 230 + 0;
- 230 ÷ 2 = 115 + 0;
- 115 ÷ 2 = 57 + 1;
- 57 ÷ 2 = 28 + 1;
- 28 ÷ 2 = 14 + 0;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 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.
3 772 953(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
3 772 953 (base 10) = 11 1001 1001 0010 0001 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
