What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 4 220 024 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;
- 4 220 024 ÷ 2 = 2 110 012 + 0;
- 2 110 012 ÷ 2 = 1 055 006 + 0;
- 1 055 006 ÷ 2 = 527 503 + 0;
- 527 503 ÷ 2 = 263 751 + 1;
- 263 751 ÷ 2 = 131 875 + 1;
- 131 875 ÷ 2 = 65 937 + 1;
- 65 937 ÷ 2 = 32 968 + 1;
- 32 968 ÷ 2 = 16 484 + 0;
- 16 484 ÷ 2 = 8 242 + 0;
- 8 242 ÷ 2 = 4 121 + 0;
- 4 121 ÷ 2 = 2 060 + 1;
- 2 060 ÷ 2 = 1 030 + 0;
- 1 030 ÷ 2 = 515 + 0;
- 515 ÷ 2 = 257 + 1;
- 257 ÷ 2 = 128 + 1;
- 128 ÷ 2 = 64 + 0;
- 64 ÷ 2 = 32 + 0;
- 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 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.
4 220 024(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
4 220 024 (base 10) = 100 0000 0110 0100 0111 1000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
