What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 96 146 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;
- 96 146 ÷ 2 = 48 073 + 0;
- 48 073 ÷ 2 = 24 036 + 1;
- 24 036 ÷ 2 = 12 018 + 0;
- 12 018 ÷ 2 = 6 009 + 0;
- 6 009 ÷ 2 = 3 004 + 1;
- 3 004 ÷ 2 = 1 502 + 0;
- 1 502 ÷ 2 = 751 + 0;
- 751 ÷ 2 = 375 + 1;
- 375 ÷ 2 = 187 + 1;
- 187 ÷ 2 = 93 + 1;
- 93 ÷ 2 = 46 + 1;
- 46 ÷ 2 = 23 + 0;
- 23 ÷ 2 = 11 + 1;
- 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.
96 146(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
96 146 (base 10) = 1 0111 0111 1001 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
