Base Ten to Base Two: Unsigned Number 541 067 362 Converted and Written in Base Two. Natural Number (Positive Integer, No Sign) Converted From Decimal System to Binary Code

Base ten unsigned number 541 067 362(10) converted and written as a base two binary code

How to convert the base ten number 541 067 362 to base two:

  • 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.
  • To convert a base ten unsigned number (written in decimal system) to base two (written in binary), follow the steps below.

  • Divide the number repeatedly by 2: keep track of each remainder.
  • Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
  • Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number: take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
  • Below you can see the conversion process to base two and the related calculations.

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;
  • 541 067 362 ÷ 2 = 270 533 681 + 0;
  • 270 533 681 ÷ 2 = 135 266 840 + 1;
  • 135 266 840 ÷ 2 = 67 633 420 + 0;
  • 67 633 420 ÷ 2 = 33 816 710 + 0;
  • 33 816 710 ÷ 2 = 16 908 355 + 0;
  • 16 908 355 ÷ 2 = 8 454 177 + 1;
  • 8 454 177 ÷ 2 = 4 227 088 + 1;
  • 4 227 088 ÷ 2 = 2 113 544 + 0;
  • 2 113 544 ÷ 2 = 1 056 772 + 0;
  • 1 056 772 ÷ 2 = 528 386 + 0;
  • 528 386 ÷ 2 = 264 193 + 0;
  • 264 193 ÷ 2 = 132 096 + 1;
  • 132 096 ÷ 2 = 66 048 + 0;
  • 66 048 ÷ 2 = 33 024 + 0;
  • 33 024 ÷ 2 = 16 512 + 0;
  • 16 512 ÷ 2 = 8 256 + 0;
  • 8 256 ÷ 2 = 4 128 + 0;
  • 4 128 ÷ 2 = 2 064 + 0;
  • 2 064 ÷ 2 = 1 032 + 0;
  • 1 032 ÷ 2 = 516 + 0;
  • 516 ÷ 2 = 258 + 0;
  • 258 ÷ 2 = 129 + 0;
  • 129 ÷ 2 = 64 + 1;
  • 64 ÷ 2 = 32 + 0;
  • 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
  • 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
  • 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.

Number 541 067 362(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):

541 067 362(10) = 10 0000 0100 0000 0000 1000 0110 0010(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 ten to base two

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)
