What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 89 177 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;
- 89 177 ÷ 2 = 44 588 + 1;
- 44 588 ÷ 2 = 22 294 + 0;
- 22 294 ÷ 2 = 11 147 + 0;
- 11 147 ÷ 2 = 5 573 + 1;
- 5 573 ÷ 2 = 2 786 + 1;
- 2 786 ÷ 2 = 1 393 + 0;
- 1 393 ÷ 2 = 696 + 1;
- 696 ÷ 2 = 348 + 0;
- 348 ÷ 2 = 174 + 0;
- 174 ÷ 2 = 87 + 0;
- 87 ÷ 2 = 43 + 1;
- 43 ÷ 2 = 21 + 1;
- 21 ÷ 2 = 10 + 1;
- 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.
89 177(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
89 177 (base 10) = 1 0101 1100 0101 1001 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
