What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 8 999 999 873 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;
  • 8 999 999 873 ÷ 2 = 4 499 999 936 + 1;
  • 4 499 999 936 ÷ 2 = 2 249 999 968 + 0;
  • 2 249 999 968 ÷ 2 = 1 124 999 984 + 0;
  • 1 124 999 984 ÷ 2 = 562 499 992 + 0;
  • 562 499 992 ÷ 2 = 281 249 996 + 0;
  • 281 249 996 ÷ 2 = 140 624 998 + 0;
  • 140 624 998 ÷ 2 = 70 312 499 + 0;
  • 70 312 499 ÷ 2 = 35 156 249 + 1;
  • 35 156 249 ÷ 2 = 17 578 124 + 1;
  • 17 578 124 ÷ 2 = 8 789 062 + 0;
  • 8 789 062 ÷ 2 = 4 394 531 + 0;
  • 4 394 531 ÷ 2 = 2 197 265 + 1;
  • 2 197 265 ÷ 2 = 1 098 632 + 1;
  • 1 098 632 ÷ 2 = 549 316 + 0;
  • 549 316 ÷ 2 = 274 658 + 0;
  • 274 658 ÷ 2 = 137 329 + 0;
  • 137 329 ÷ 2 = 68 664 + 1;
  • 68 664 ÷ 2 = 34 332 + 0;
  • 34 332 ÷ 2 = 17 166 + 0;
  • 17 166 ÷ 2 = 8 583 + 0;
  • 8 583 ÷ 2 = 4 291 + 1;
  • 4 291 ÷ 2 = 2 145 + 1;
  • 2 145 ÷ 2 = 1 072 + 1;
  • 1 072 ÷ 2 = 536 + 0;
  • 536 ÷ 2 = 268 + 0;
  • 268 ÷ 2 = 134 + 0;
  • 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.

8 999 999 873(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

8 999 999 873 (base 10) = 10 0001 1000 0111 0001 0001 1001 1000 0001 (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)
