What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 973 367 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;
- 973 367 ÷ 2 = 486 683 + 1;
- 486 683 ÷ 2 = 243 341 + 1;
- 243 341 ÷ 2 = 121 670 + 1;
- 121 670 ÷ 2 = 60 835 + 0;
- 60 835 ÷ 2 = 30 417 + 1;
- 30 417 ÷ 2 = 15 208 + 1;
- 15 208 ÷ 2 = 7 604 + 0;
- 7 604 ÷ 2 = 3 802 + 0;
- 3 802 ÷ 2 = 1 901 + 0;
- 1 901 ÷ 2 = 950 + 1;
- 950 ÷ 2 = 475 + 0;
- 475 ÷ 2 = 237 + 1;
- 237 ÷ 2 = 118 + 1;
- 118 ÷ 2 = 59 + 0;
- 59 ÷ 2 = 29 + 1;
- 29 ÷ 2 = 14 + 1;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 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.
973 367(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
973 367 (base 10) = 1110 1101 1010 0011 0111 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
