What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 670 720 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;
- 670 720 ÷ 2 = 335 360 + 0;
- 335 360 ÷ 2 = 167 680 + 0;
- 167 680 ÷ 2 = 83 840 + 0;
- 83 840 ÷ 2 = 41 920 + 0;
- 41 920 ÷ 2 = 20 960 + 0;
- 20 960 ÷ 2 = 10 480 + 0;
- 10 480 ÷ 2 = 5 240 + 0;
- 5 240 ÷ 2 = 2 620 + 0;
- 2 620 ÷ 2 = 1 310 + 0;
- 1 310 ÷ 2 = 655 + 0;
- 655 ÷ 2 = 327 + 1;
- 327 ÷ 2 = 163 + 1;
- 163 ÷ 2 = 81 + 1;
- 81 ÷ 2 = 40 + 1;
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20 + 0;
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10 + 0;
- 10 ÷ 2 = 5 + 0;
- 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.
670 720(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
670 720 (base 10) = 1010 0011 1100 0000 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
