What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 4 273 864 809 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;
  • 4 273 864 809 ÷ 2 = 2 136 932 404 + 1;
  • 2 136 932 404 ÷ 2 = 1 068 466 202 + 0;
  • 1 068 466 202 ÷ 2 = 534 233 101 + 0;
  • 534 233 101 ÷ 2 = 267 116 550 + 1;
  • 267 116 550 ÷ 2 = 133 558 275 + 0;
  • 133 558 275 ÷ 2 = 66 779 137 + 1;
  • 66 779 137 ÷ 2 = 33 389 568 + 1;
  • 33 389 568 ÷ 2 = 16 694 784 + 0;
  • 16 694 784 ÷ 2 = 8 347 392 + 0;
  • 8 347 392 ÷ 2 = 4 173 696 + 0;
  • 4 173 696 ÷ 2 = 2 086 848 + 0;
  • 2 086 848 ÷ 2 = 1 043 424 + 0;
  • 1 043 424 ÷ 2 = 521 712 + 0;
  • 521 712 ÷ 2 = 260 856 + 0;
  • 260 856 ÷ 2 = 130 428 + 0;
  • 130 428 ÷ 2 = 65 214 + 0;
  • 65 214 ÷ 2 = 32 607 + 0;
  • 32 607 ÷ 2 = 16 303 + 1;
  • 16 303 ÷ 2 = 8 151 + 1;
  • 8 151 ÷ 2 = 4 075 + 1;
  • 4 075 ÷ 2 = 2 037 + 1;
  • 2 037 ÷ 2 = 1 018 + 1;
  • 1 018 ÷ 2 = 509 + 0;
  • 509 ÷ 2 = 254 + 1;
  • 254 ÷ 2 = 127 + 0;
  • 127 ÷ 2 = 63 + 1;
  • 63 ÷ 2 = 31 + 1;
  • 31 ÷ 2 = 15 + 1;
  • 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.

4 273 864 809(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

4 273 864 809 (base 10) = 1111 1110 1011 1110 0000 0000 0110 1001 (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)
