What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 8 900 313 231 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;
  • 8 900 313 231 ÷ 2 = 4 450 156 615 + 1;
  • 4 450 156 615 ÷ 2 = 2 225 078 307 + 1;
  • 2 225 078 307 ÷ 2 = 1 112 539 153 + 1;
  • 1 112 539 153 ÷ 2 = 556 269 576 + 1;
  • 556 269 576 ÷ 2 = 278 134 788 + 0;
  • 278 134 788 ÷ 2 = 139 067 394 + 0;
  • 139 067 394 ÷ 2 = 69 533 697 + 0;
  • 69 533 697 ÷ 2 = 34 766 848 + 1;
  • 34 766 848 ÷ 2 = 17 383 424 + 0;
  • 17 383 424 ÷ 2 = 8 691 712 + 0;
  • 8 691 712 ÷ 2 = 4 345 856 + 0;
  • 4 345 856 ÷ 2 = 2 172 928 + 0;
  • 2 172 928 ÷ 2 = 1 086 464 + 0;
  • 1 086 464 ÷ 2 = 543 232 + 0;
  • 543 232 ÷ 2 = 271 616 + 0;
  • 271 616 ÷ 2 = 135 808 + 0;
  • 135 808 ÷ 2 = 67 904 + 0;
  • 67 904 ÷ 2 = 33 952 + 0;
  • 33 952 ÷ 2 = 16 976 + 0;
  • 16 976 ÷ 2 = 8 488 + 0;
  • 8 488 ÷ 2 = 4 244 + 0;
  • 4 244 ÷ 2 = 2 122 + 0;
  • 2 122 ÷ 2 = 1 061 + 0;
  • 1 061 ÷ 2 = 530 + 1;
  • 530 ÷ 2 = 265 + 0;
  • 265 ÷ 2 = 132 + 1;
  • 132 ÷ 2 = 66 + 0;
  • 66 ÷ 2 = 33 + 0;
  • 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.

8 900 313 231(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

8 900 313 231 (base 10) = 10 0001 0010 1000 0000 0000 0000 1000 1111 (base 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 10 to base 2

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)
