What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 712 425 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;
- 712 425 ÷ 2 = 356 212 + 1;
- 356 212 ÷ 2 = 178 106 + 0;
- 178 106 ÷ 2 = 89 053 + 0;
- 89 053 ÷ 2 = 44 526 + 1;
- 44 526 ÷ 2 = 22 263 + 0;
- 22 263 ÷ 2 = 11 131 + 1;
- 11 131 ÷ 2 = 5 565 + 1;
- 5 565 ÷ 2 = 2 782 + 1;
- 2 782 ÷ 2 = 1 391 + 0;
- 1 391 ÷ 2 = 695 + 1;
- 695 ÷ 2 = 347 + 1;
- 347 ÷ 2 = 173 + 1;
- 173 ÷ 2 = 86 + 1;
- 86 ÷ 2 = 43 + 0;
- 43 ÷ 2 = 21 + 1;
- 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.
712 425(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
712 425 (base 10) = 1010 1101 1110 1110 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
