What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 62 862 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;
- 62 862 ÷ 2 = 31 431 + 0;
- 31 431 ÷ 2 = 15 715 + 1;
- 15 715 ÷ 2 = 7 857 + 1;
- 7 857 ÷ 2 = 3 928 + 1;
- 3 928 ÷ 2 = 1 964 + 0;
- 1 964 ÷ 2 = 982 + 0;
- 982 ÷ 2 = 491 + 0;
- 491 ÷ 2 = 245 + 1;
- 245 ÷ 2 = 122 + 1;
- 122 ÷ 2 = 61 + 0;
- 61 ÷ 2 = 30 + 1;
- 30 ÷ 2 = 15 + 0;
- 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 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.
62 862(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
62 862 (base 10) = 1111 0101 1000 1110 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
