What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 432 776 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;
- 432 776 ÷ 2 = 216 388 + 0;
- 216 388 ÷ 2 = 108 194 + 0;
- 108 194 ÷ 2 = 54 097 + 0;
- 54 097 ÷ 2 = 27 048 + 1;
- 27 048 ÷ 2 = 13 524 + 0;
- 13 524 ÷ 2 = 6 762 + 0;
- 6 762 ÷ 2 = 3 381 + 0;
- 3 381 ÷ 2 = 1 690 + 1;
- 1 690 ÷ 2 = 845 + 0;
- 845 ÷ 2 = 422 + 1;
- 422 ÷ 2 = 211 + 0;
- 211 ÷ 2 = 105 + 1;
- 105 ÷ 2 = 52 + 1;
- 52 ÷ 2 = 26 + 0;
- 26 ÷ 2 = 13 + 0;
- 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 number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
432 776(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
432 776 (base 10) = 110 1001 1010 1000 1000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
