What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 698 834 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;
- 698 834 ÷ 2 = 349 417 + 0;
- 349 417 ÷ 2 = 174 708 + 1;
- 174 708 ÷ 2 = 87 354 + 0;
- 87 354 ÷ 2 = 43 677 + 0;
- 43 677 ÷ 2 = 21 838 + 1;
- 21 838 ÷ 2 = 10 919 + 0;
- 10 919 ÷ 2 = 5 459 + 1;
- 5 459 ÷ 2 = 2 729 + 1;
- 2 729 ÷ 2 = 1 364 + 1;
- 1 364 ÷ 2 = 682 + 0;
- 682 ÷ 2 = 341 + 0;
- 341 ÷ 2 = 170 + 1;
- 170 ÷ 2 = 85 + 0;
- 85 ÷ 2 = 42 + 1;
- 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.
698 834(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
698 834 (base 10) = 1010 1010 1001 1101 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
