What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 76 318 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;
- 76 318 ÷ 2 = 38 159 + 0;
- 38 159 ÷ 2 = 19 079 + 1;
- 19 079 ÷ 2 = 9 539 + 1;
- 9 539 ÷ 2 = 4 769 + 1;
- 4 769 ÷ 2 = 2 384 + 1;
- 2 384 ÷ 2 = 1 192 + 0;
- 1 192 ÷ 2 = 596 + 0;
- 596 ÷ 2 = 298 + 0;
- 298 ÷ 2 = 149 + 0;
- 149 ÷ 2 = 74 + 1;
- 74 ÷ 2 = 37 + 0;
- 37 ÷ 2 = 18 + 1;
- 18 ÷ 2 = 9 + 0;
- 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
- 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.
76 318(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
76 318 (base 10) = 1 0010 1010 0001 1110 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
