What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 6 569 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;
- 6 569 ÷ 2 = 3 284 + 1;
- 3 284 ÷ 2 = 1 642 + 0;
- 1 642 ÷ 2 = 821 + 0;
- 821 ÷ 2 = 410 + 1;
- 410 ÷ 2 = 205 + 0;
- 205 ÷ 2 = 102 + 1;
- 102 ÷ 2 = 51 + 0;
- 51 ÷ 2 = 25 + 1;
- 25 ÷ 2 = 12 + 1;
- 12 ÷ 2 = 6 + 0;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 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.
6 569(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
6 569 (base 10) = 1 1001 1010 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
