What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 4 645 678 451 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;
  • 4 645 678 451 ÷ 2 = 2 322 839 225 + 1;
  • 2 322 839 225 ÷ 2 = 1 161 419 612 + 1;
  • 1 161 419 612 ÷ 2 = 580 709 806 + 0;
  • 580 709 806 ÷ 2 = 290 354 903 + 0;
  • 290 354 903 ÷ 2 = 145 177 451 + 1;
  • 145 177 451 ÷ 2 = 72 588 725 + 1;
  • 72 588 725 ÷ 2 = 36 294 362 + 1;
  • 36 294 362 ÷ 2 = 18 147 181 + 0;
  • 18 147 181 ÷ 2 = 9 073 590 + 1;
  • 9 073 590 ÷ 2 = 4 536 795 + 0;
  • 4 536 795 ÷ 2 = 2 268 397 + 1;
  • 2 268 397 ÷ 2 = 1 134 198 + 1;
  • 1 134 198 ÷ 2 = 567 099 + 0;
  • 567 099 ÷ 2 = 283 549 + 1;
  • 283 549 ÷ 2 = 141 774 + 1;
  • 141 774 ÷ 2 = 70 887 + 0;
  • 70 887 ÷ 2 = 35 443 + 1;
  • 35 443 ÷ 2 = 17 721 + 1;
  • 17 721 ÷ 2 = 8 860 + 1;
  • 8 860 ÷ 2 = 4 430 + 0;
  • 4 430 ÷ 2 = 2 215 + 0;
  • 2 215 ÷ 2 = 1 107 + 1;
  • 1 107 ÷ 2 = 553 + 1;
  • 553 ÷ 2 = 276 + 1;
  • 276 ÷ 2 = 138 + 0;
  • 138 ÷ 2 = 69 + 0;
  • 69 ÷ 2 = 34 + 1;
  • 34 ÷ 2 = 17 + 0;
  • 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
  • 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
  • 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
  • 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.

4 645 678 451(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

4 645 678 451 (base 10) = 1 0001 0100 1110 0111 0110 1101 0111 0011 (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)
