What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 860 577 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;
- 860 577 ÷ 2 = 430 288 + 1;
- 430 288 ÷ 2 = 215 144 + 0;
- 215 144 ÷ 2 = 107 572 + 0;
- 107 572 ÷ 2 = 53 786 + 0;
- 53 786 ÷ 2 = 26 893 + 0;
- 26 893 ÷ 2 = 13 446 + 1;
- 13 446 ÷ 2 = 6 723 + 0;
- 6 723 ÷ 2 = 3 361 + 1;
- 3 361 ÷ 2 = 1 680 + 1;
- 1 680 ÷ 2 = 840 + 0;
- 840 ÷ 2 = 420 + 0;
- 420 ÷ 2 = 210 + 0;
- 210 ÷ 2 = 105 + 0;
- 105 ÷ 2 = 52 + 1;
- 52 ÷ 2 = 26 + 0;
- 26 ÷ 2 = 13 + 0;
- 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
- 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
- 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.
860 577(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
860 577 (base 10) = 1101 0010 0001 1010 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
