What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 989 760 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;
- 989 760 ÷ 2 = 494 880 + 0;
- 494 880 ÷ 2 = 247 440 + 0;
- 247 440 ÷ 2 = 123 720 + 0;
- 123 720 ÷ 2 = 61 860 + 0;
- 61 860 ÷ 2 = 30 930 + 0;
- 30 930 ÷ 2 = 15 465 + 0;
- 15 465 ÷ 2 = 7 732 + 1;
- 7 732 ÷ 2 = 3 866 + 0;
- 3 866 ÷ 2 = 1 933 + 0;
- 1 933 ÷ 2 = 966 + 1;
- 966 ÷ 2 = 483 + 0;
- 483 ÷ 2 = 241 + 1;
- 241 ÷ 2 = 120 + 1;
- 120 ÷ 2 = 60 + 0;
- 60 ÷ 2 = 30 + 0;
- 30 ÷ 2 = 15 + 0;
- 15 ÷ 2 = 7 + 1;
- 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.
989 760(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
989 760 (base 10) = 1111 0001 1010 0100 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
