What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 8 845 745 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;
- 8 845 745 ÷ 2 = 4 422 872 + 1;
- 4 422 872 ÷ 2 = 2 211 436 + 0;
- 2 211 436 ÷ 2 = 1 105 718 + 0;
- 1 105 718 ÷ 2 = 552 859 + 0;
- 552 859 ÷ 2 = 276 429 + 1;
- 276 429 ÷ 2 = 138 214 + 1;
- 138 214 ÷ 2 = 69 107 + 0;
- 69 107 ÷ 2 = 34 553 + 1;
- 34 553 ÷ 2 = 17 276 + 1;
- 17 276 ÷ 2 = 8 638 + 0;
- 8 638 ÷ 2 = 4 319 + 0;
- 4 319 ÷ 2 = 2 159 + 1;
- 2 159 ÷ 2 = 1 079 + 1;
- 1 079 ÷ 2 = 539 + 1;
- 539 ÷ 2 = 269 + 1;
- 269 ÷ 2 = 134 + 1;
- 134 ÷ 2 = 67 + 0;
- 67 ÷ 2 = 33 + 1;
- 33 ÷ 2 = 16 + 1;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 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.
8 845 745(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
8 845 745 (base 10) = 1000 0110 1111 1001 1011 0001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
