What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 9 899 999 884 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;
  • 9 899 999 884 ÷ 2 = 4 949 999 942 + 0;
  • 4 949 999 942 ÷ 2 = 2 474 999 971 + 0;
  • 2 474 999 971 ÷ 2 = 1 237 499 985 + 1;
  • 1 237 499 985 ÷ 2 = 618 749 992 + 1;
  • 618 749 992 ÷ 2 = 309 374 996 + 0;
  • 309 374 996 ÷ 2 = 154 687 498 + 0;
  • 154 687 498 ÷ 2 = 77 343 749 + 0;
  • 77 343 749 ÷ 2 = 38 671 874 + 1;
  • 38 671 874 ÷ 2 = 19 335 937 + 0;
  • 19 335 937 ÷ 2 = 9 667 968 + 1;
  • 9 667 968 ÷ 2 = 4 833 984 + 0;
  • 4 833 984 ÷ 2 = 2 416 992 + 0;
  • 2 416 992 ÷ 2 = 1 208 496 + 0;
  • 1 208 496 ÷ 2 = 604 248 + 0;
  • 604 248 ÷ 2 = 302 124 + 0;
  • 302 124 ÷ 2 = 151 062 + 0;
  • 151 062 ÷ 2 = 75 531 + 0;
  • 75 531 ÷ 2 = 37 765 + 1;
  • 37 765 ÷ 2 = 18 882 + 1;
  • 18 882 ÷ 2 = 9 441 + 0;
  • 9 441 ÷ 2 = 4 720 + 1;
  • 4 720 ÷ 2 = 2 360 + 0;
  • 2 360 ÷ 2 = 1 180 + 0;
  • 1 180 ÷ 2 = 590 + 0;
  • 590 ÷ 2 = 295 + 0;
  • 295 ÷ 2 = 147 + 1;
  • 147 ÷ 2 = 73 + 1;
  • 73 ÷ 2 = 36 + 1;
  • 36 ÷ 2 = 18 + 0;
  • 18 ÷ 2 = 9 + 0;
  • 9 ÷ 2 = 4 + 1;
  • 4 ÷ 2 = 2 + 0;
  • 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.

9 899 999 884(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:

9 899 999 884 (base 10) = 10 0100 1110 0001 0110 0000 0010 1000 1100 (base 2)

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.


How to convert unsigned integer numbers (positive) from decimal system (base 10) to binary = simply convert from base 10 to base 2

Follow the steps below to convert a base ten unsigned integer number to base two:

  • 1. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive integer number that has to be converted to binary, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a QUOTIENT that is equal to ZERO.
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).

Example: convert the positive integer number 55 from decimal system (base ten) to binary code (base two):

  • 1. Divide repeatedly 55 by 2, keeping track of each remainder, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero:
    • division = quotient + remainder;
    • 55 ÷ 2 = 27 + 1;
    • 27 ÷ 2 = 13 + 1;
    • 13 ÷ 2 = 6 + 1;
    • 6 ÷ 2 = 3 + 0;
    • 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
    • 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
  • 2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer number, by taking all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above:
  • 55(10) = 11 0111(2)
  • Number 5510, positive integer (no sign), converted from decimal system (base 10) to unsigned binary (base 2) = 11 0111(2)
