What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 998 832 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;
- 998 832 ÷ 2 = 499 416 + 0;
- 499 416 ÷ 2 = 249 708 + 0;
- 249 708 ÷ 2 = 124 854 + 0;
- 124 854 ÷ 2 = 62 427 + 0;
- 62 427 ÷ 2 = 31 213 + 1;
- 31 213 ÷ 2 = 15 606 + 1;
- 15 606 ÷ 2 = 7 803 + 0;
- 7 803 ÷ 2 = 3 901 + 1;
- 3 901 ÷ 2 = 1 950 + 1;
- 1 950 ÷ 2 = 975 + 0;
- 975 ÷ 2 = 487 + 1;
- 487 ÷ 2 = 243 + 1;
- 243 ÷ 2 = 121 + 1;
- 121 ÷ 2 = 60 + 1;
- 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.
998 832(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
998 832 (base 10) = 1111 0011 1101 1011 0000 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
