What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 45 301 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;
- 45 301 ÷ 2 = 22 650 + 1;
- 22 650 ÷ 2 = 11 325 + 0;
- 11 325 ÷ 2 = 5 662 + 1;
- 5 662 ÷ 2 = 2 831 + 0;
- 2 831 ÷ 2 = 1 415 + 1;
- 1 415 ÷ 2 = 707 + 1;
- 707 ÷ 2 = 353 + 1;
- 353 ÷ 2 = 176 + 1;
- 176 ÷ 2 = 88 + 0;
- 88 ÷ 2 = 44 + 0;
- 44 ÷ 2 = 22 + 0;
- 22 ÷ 2 = 11 + 0;
- 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
- 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.
45 301(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
45 301 (base 10) = 1011 0000 1111 0101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
