What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 93 496 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;
- 93 496 ÷ 2 = 46 748 + 0;
- 46 748 ÷ 2 = 23 374 + 0;
- 23 374 ÷ 2 = 11 687 + 0;
- 11 687 ÷ 2 = 5 843 + 1;
- 5 843 ÷ 2 = 2 921 + 1;
- 2 921 ÷ 2 = 1 460 + 1;
- 1 460 ÷ 2 = 730 + 0;
- 730 ÷ 2 = 365 + 0;
- 365 ÷ 2 = 182 + 1;
- 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.
93 496(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
93 496 (base 10) = 1 0110 1101 0011 1000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
