Base Ten to Base Two: Unsigned Number 666 666 623 Converted and Written in Base Two. Natural Number (Positive Integer, No Sign) Converted From Decimal System to Binary Code

Base ten unsigned number 666 666 623(10) converted and written as a base two binary code

How to convert the base ten number 666 666 623 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;
  • 666 666 623 ÷ 2 = 333 333 311 + 1;
  • 333 333 311 ÷ 2 = 166 666 655 + 1;
  • 166 666 655 ÷ 2 = 83 333 327 + 1;
  • 83 333 327 ÷ 2 = 41 666 663 + 1;
  • 41 666 663 ÷ 2 = 20 833 331 + 1;
  • 20 833 331 ÷ 2 = 10 416 665 + 1;
  • 10 416 665 ÷ 2 = 5 208 332 + 1;
  • 5 208 332 ÷ 2 = 2 604 166 + 0;
  • 2 604 166 ÷ 2 = 1 302 083 + 0;
  • 1 302 083 ÷ 2 = 651 041 + 1;
  • 651 041 ÷ 2 = 325 520 + 1;
  • 325 520 ÷ 2 = 162 760 + 0;
  • 162 760 ÷ 2 = 81 380 + 0;
  • 81 380 ÷ 2 = 40 690 + 0;
  • 40 690 ÷ 2 = 20 345 + 0;
  • 20 345 ÷ 2 = 10 172 + 1;
  • 10 172 ÷ 2 = 5 086 + 0;
  • 5 086 ÷ 2 = 2 543 + 0;
  • 2 543 ÷ 2 = 1 271 + 1;
  • 1 271 ÷ 2 = 635 + 1;
  • 635 ÷ 2 = 317 + 1;
  • 317 ÷ 2 = 158 + 1;
  • 158 ÷ 2 = 79 + 0;
  • 79 ÷ 2 = 39 + 1;
  • 39 ÷ 2 = 19 + 1;
  • 19 ÷ 2 = 9 + 1;
  • 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
  • 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 666 666 623(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):

666 666 623 (base 10) = 10 0111 1011 1100 1000 0110 0111 1111 (base 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)
