What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 424 836 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;
- 424 836 ÷ 2 = 212 418 + 0;
- 212 418 ÷ 2 = 106 209 + 0;
- 106 209 ÷ 2 = 53 104 + 1;
- 53 104 ÷ 2 = 26 552 + 0;
- 26 552 ÷ 2 = 13 276 + 0;
- 13 276 ÷ 2 = 6 638 + 0;
- 6 638 ÷ 2 = 3 319 + 0;
- 3 319 ÷ 2 = 1 659 + 1;
- 1 659 ÷ 2 = 829 + 1;
- 829 ÷ 2 = 414 + 1;
- 414 ÷ 2 = 207 + 0;
- 207 ÷ 2 = 103 + 1;
- 103 ÷ 2 = 51 + 1;
- 51 ÷ 2 = 25 + 1;
- 25 ÷ 2 = 12 + 1;
- 12 ÷ 2 = 6 + 0;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 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.
424 836(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
424 836 (base 10) = 110 0111 1011 1000 0100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
