What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 93 426 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;
- 93 426 ÷ 2 = 46 713 + 0;
- 46 713 ÷ 2 = 23 356 + 1;
- 23 356 ÷ 2 = 11 678 + 0;
- 11 678 ÷ 2 = 5 839 + 0;
- 5 839 ÷ 2 = 2 919 + 1;
- 2 919 ÷ 2 = 1 459 + 1;
- 1 459 ÷ 2 = 729 + 1;
- 729 ÷ 2 = 364 + 1;
- 364 ÷ 2 = 182 + 0;
- 182 ÷ 2 = 91 + 0;
- 91 ÷ 2 = 45 + 1;
- 45 ÷ 2 = 22 + 1;
- 22 ÷ 2 = 11 + 0;
- 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
- 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.
93 426(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
93 426 (base 10) = 1 0110 1100 1111 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
