What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 44 434 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;
- 44 434 ÷ 2 = 22 217 + 0;
- 22 217 ÷ 2 = 11 108 + 1;
- 11 108 ÷ 2 = 5 554 + 0;
- 5 554 ÷ 2 = 2 777 + 0;
- 2 777 ÷ 2 = 1 388 + 1;
- 1 388 ÷ 2 = 694 + 0;
- 694 ÷ 2 = 347 + 0;
- 347 ÷ 2 = 173 + 1;
- 173 ÷ 2 = 86 + 1;
- 86 ÷ 2 = 43 + 0;
- 43 ÷ 2 = 21 + 1;
- 21 ÷ 2 = 10 + 1;
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
- 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
- 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.
44 434(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
44 434 (base 10) = 1010 1101 1001 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
