What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 83 515 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;
- 83 515 ÷ 2 = 41 757 + 1;
- 41 757 ÷ 2 = 20 878 + 1;
- 20 878 ÷ 2 = 10 439 + 0;
- 10 439 ÷ 2 = 5 219 + 1;
- 5 219 ÷ 2 = 2 609 + 1;
- 2 609 ÷ 2 = 1 304 + 1;
- 1 304 ÷ 2 = 652 + 0;
- 652 ÷ 2 = 326 + 0;
- 326 ÷ 2 = 163 + 0;
- 163 ÷ 2 = 81 + 1;
- 81 ÷ 2 = 40 + 1;
- 40 ÷ 2 = 20 + 0;
- 20 ÷ 2 = 10 + 0;
- 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.
83 515(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
83 515 (base 10) = 1 0100 0110 0011 1011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
