What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 690 310 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;
- 690 310 ÷ 2 = 345 155 + 0;
- 345 155 ÷ 2 = 172 577 + 1;
- 172 577 ÷ 2 = 86 288 + 1;
- 86 288 ÷ 2 = 43 144 + 0;
- 43 144 ÷ 2 = 21 572 + 0;
- 21 572 ÷ 2 = 10 786 + 0;
- 10 786 ÷ 2 = 5 393 + 0;
- 5 393 ÷ 2 = 2 696 + 1;
- 2 696 ÷ 2 = 1 348 + 0;
- 1 348 ÷ 2 = 674 + 0;
- 674 ÷ 2 = 337 + 0;
- 337 ÷ 2 = 168 + 1;
- 168 ÷ 2 = 84 + 0;
- 84 ÷ 2 = 42 + 0;
- 42 ÷ 2 = 21 + 0;
- 21 ÷ 2 = 10 + 1;
- 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.
690 310(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
690 310 (base 10) = 1010 1000 1000 1000 0110 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
