What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 71 329 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;
- 71 329 ÷ 2 = 35 664 + 1;
- 35 664 ÷ 2 = 17 832 + 0;
- 17 832 ÷ 2 = 8 916 + 0;
- 8 916 ÷ 2 = 4 458 + 0;
- 4 458 ÷ 2 = 2 229 + 0;
- 2 229 ÷ 2 = 1 114 + 1;
- 1 114 ÷ 2 = 557 + 0;
- 557 ÷ 2 = 278 + 1;
- 278 ÷ 2 = 139 + 0;
- 139 ÷ 2 = 69 + 1;
- 69 ÷ 2 = 34 + 1;
- 34 ÷ 2 = 17 + 0;
- 17 ÷ 2 = 8 + 1;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
- 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.
71 329(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
71 329 (base 10) = 1 0001 0110 1010 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
