What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 7 350 524 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;
- 7 350 524 ÷ 2 = 3 675 262 + 0;
- 3 675 262 ÷ 2 = 1 837 631 + 0;
- 1 837 631 ÷ 2 = 918 815 + 1;
- 918 815 ÷ 2 = 459 407 + 1;
- 459 407 ÷ 2 = 229 703 + 1;
- 229 703 ÷ 2 = 114 851 + 1;
- 114 851 ÷ 2 = 57 425 + 1;
- 57 425 ÷ 2 = 28 712 + 1;
- 28 712 ÷ 2 = 14 356 + 0;
- 14 356 ÷ 2 = 7 178 + 0;
- 7 178 ÷ 2 = 3 589 + 0;
- 3 589 ÷ 2 = 1 794 + 1;
- 1 794 ÷ 2 = 897 + 0;
- 897 ÷ 2 = 448 + 1;
- 448 ÷ 2 = 224 + 0;
- 224 ÷ 2 = 112 + 0;
- 112 ÷ 2 = 56 + 0;
- 56 ÷ 2 = 28 + 0;
- 28 ÷ 2 = 14 + 0;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 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.
7 350 524(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
7 350 524 (base 10) = 111 0000 0010 1000 1111 1100 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
