What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 4 138 467 724 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;
  • 4 138 467 724 ÷ 2 = 2 069 233 862 + 0;
  • 2 069 233 862 ÷ 2 = 1 034 616 931 + 0;
  • 1 034 616 931 ÷ 2 = 517 308 465 + 1;
  • 517 308 465 ÷ 2 = 258 654 232 + 1;
  • 258 654 232 ÷ 2 = 129 327 116 + 0;
  • 129 327 116 ÷ 2 = 64 663 558 + 0;
  • 64 663 558 ÷ 2 = 32 331 779 + 0;
  • 32 331 779 ÷ 2 = 16 165 889 + 1;
  • 16 165 889 ÷ 2 = 8 082 944 + 1;
  • 8 082 944 ÷ 2 = 4 041 472 + 0;
  • 4 041 472 ÷ 2 = 2 020 736 + 0;
  • 2 020 736 ÷ 2 = 1 010 368 + 0;
  • 1 010 368 ÷ 2 = 505 184 + 0;
  • 505 184 ÷ 2 = 252 592 + 0;
  • 252 592 ÷ 2 = 126 296 + 0;
  • 126 296 ÷ 2 = 63 148 + 0;
  • 63 148 ÷ 2 = 31 574 + 0;
  • 31 574 ÷ 2 = 15 787 + 0;
  • 15 787 ÷ 2 = 7 893 + 1;
  • 7 893 ÷ 2 = 3 946 + 1;
  • 3 946 ÷ 2 = 1 973 + 0;
  • 1 973 ÷ 2 = 986 + 1;
  • 986 ÷ 2 = 493 + 0;
  • 493 ÷ 2 = 246 + 1;
  • 246 ÷ 2 = 123 + 0;
  • 123 ÷ 2 = 61 + 1;
  • 61 ÷ 2 = 30 + 1;
  • 30 ÷ 2 = 15 + 0;
  • 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
  • 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.

4 138 467 724(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

4 138 467 724 (base 10) = 1111 0110 1010 1100 0000 0001 1000 1100 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
