What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 575 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;
- 575 ÷ 2 = 287 + 1;
- 287 ÷ 2 = 143 + 1;
- 143 ÷ 2 = 71 + 1;
- 71 ÷ 2 = 35 + 1;
- 35 ÷ 2 = 17 + 1;
- 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.
575(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
575 (base 10) = 10 0011 1111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
