Unsigned: Integer ↗ Binary: 86 340 004 Convert the Positive Integer (Whole Number) From Base Ten (10) To Base Two (2), Conversion and Writing of Decimal System Number as Unsigned Binary Code

Unsigned (positive) integer number 86 340 004(10)
converted and written as an unsigned binary (base 2) = ?

1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:

Keep track of each remainder.

We stop when we get a quotient that is equal to zero.

  • division = quotient + remainder;
  • 86 340 004 ÷ 2 = 43 170 002 + 0;
  • 43 170 002 ÷ 2 = 21 585 001 + 0;
  • 21 585 001 ÷ 2 = 10 792 500 + 1;
  • 10 792 500 ÷ 2 = 5 396 250 + 0;
  • 5 396 250 ÷ 2 = 2 698 125 + 0;
  • 2 698 125 ÷ 2 = 1 349 062 + 1;
  • 1 349 062 ÷ 2 = 674 531 + 0;
  • 674 531 ÷ 2 = 337 265 + 1;
  • 337 265 ÷ 2 = 168 632 + 1;
  • 168 632 ÷ 2 = 84 316 + 0;
  • 84 316 ÷ 2 = 42 158 + 0;
  • 42 158 ÷ 2 = 21 079 + 0;
  • 21 079 ÷ 2 = 10 539 + 1;
  • 10 539 ÷ 2 = 5 269 + 1;
  • 5 269 ÷ 2 = 2 634 + 1;
  • 2 634 ÷ 2 = 1 317 + 0;
  • 1 317 ÷ 2 = 658 + 1;
  • 658 ÷ 2 = 329 + 0;
  • 329 ÷ 2 = 164 + 1;
  • 164 ÷ 2 = 82 + 0;
  • 82 ÷ 2 = 41 + 0;
  • 41 ÷ 2 = 20 + 1;
  • 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.


Number 86 340 004(10), a positive integer number (with no sign),
converted from decimal system (from base 10)
and written as an unsigned binary (in base 2):

86 340 004(10) = 101 0010 0101 0111 0001 1010 0100(2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.

How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base ten to base two

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 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 integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
    55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
