What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 6 022 000 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;
- 6 022 000 ÷ 2 = 3 011 000 + 0;
- 3 011 000 ÷ 2 = 1 505 500 + 0;
- 1 505 500 ÷ 2 = 752 750 + 0;
- 752 750 ÷ 2 = 376 375 + 0;
- 376 375 ÷ 2 = 188 187 + 1;
- 188 187 ÷ 2 = 94 093 + 1;
- 94 093 ÷ 2 = 47 046 + 1;
- 47 046 ÷ 2 = 23 523 + 0;
- 23 523 ÷ 2 = 11 761 + 1;
- 11 761 ÷ 2 = 5 880 + 1;
- 5 880 ÷ 2 = 2 940 + 0;
- 2 940 ÷ 2 = 1 470 + 0;
- 1 470 ÷ 2 = 735 + 0;
- 735 ÷ 2 = 367 + 1;
- 367 ÷ 2 = 183 + 1;
- 183 ÷ 2 = 91 + 1;
- 91 ÷ 2 = 45 + 1;
- 45 ÷ 2 = 22 + 1;
- 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.
6 022 000(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
6 022 000 (base 10) = 101 1011 1110 0011 0111 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
