What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 900 331 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;
- 900 331 ÷ 2 = 450 165 + 1;
- 450 165 ÷ 2 = 225 082 + 1;
- 225 082 ÷ 2 = 112 541 + 0;
- 112 541 ÷ 2 = 56 270 + 1;
- 56 270 ÷ 2 = 28 135 + 0;
- 28 135 ÷ 2 = 14 067 + 1;
- 14 067 ÷ 2 = 7 033 + 1;
- 7 033 ÷ 2 = 3 516 + 1;
- 3 516 ÷ 2 = 1 758 + 0;
- 1 758 ÷ 2 = 879 + 0;
- 879 ÷ 2 = 439 + 1;
- 439 ÷ 2 = 219 + 1;
- 219 ÷ 2 = 109 + 1;
- 109 ÷ 2 = 54 + 1;
- 54 ÷ 2 = 27 + 0;
- 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 number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
900 331(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
900 331 (base 10) = 1101 1011 1100 1110 1011 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
