What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 700 001 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;
- 700 001 ÷ 2 = 350 000 + 1;
- 350 000 ÷ 2 = 175 000 + 0;
- 175 000 ÷ 2 = 87 500 + 0;
- 87 500 ÷ 2 = 43 750 + 0;
- 43 750 ÷ 2 = 21 875 + 0;
- 21 875 ÷ 2 = 10 937 + 1;
- 10 937 ÷ 2 = 5 468 + 1;
- 5 468 ÷ 2 = 2 734 + 0;
- 2 734 ÷ 2 = 1 367 + 0;
- 1 367 ÷ 2 = 683 + 1;
- 683 ÷ 2 = 341 + 1;
- 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.
700 001(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
700 001 (base 10) = 1010 1010 1110 0110 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
