What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 677 973 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;
- 677 973 ÷ 2 = 338 986 + 1;
- 338 986 ÷ 2 = 169 493 + 0;
- 169 493 ÷ 2 = 84 746 + 1;
- 84 746 ÷ 2 = 42 373 + 0;
- 42 373 ÷ 2 = 21 186 + 1;
- 21 186 ÷ 2 = 10 593 + 0;
- 10 593 ÷ 2 = 5 296 + 1;
- 5 296 ÷ 2 = 2 648 + 0;
- 2 648 ÷ 2 = 1 324 + 0;
- 1 324 ÷ 2 = 662 + 0;
- 662 ÷ 2 = 331 + 0;
- 331 ÷ 2 = 165 + 1;
- 165 ÷ 2 = 82 + 1;
- 82 ÷ 2 = 41 + 0;
- 41 ÷ 2 = 20 + 1;
- 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.
677 973(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
677 973 (base 10) = 1010 0101 1000 0101 0101 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
