What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 999 070 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;
- 999 070 ÷ 2 = 499 535 + 0;
- 499 535 ÷ 2 = 249 767 + 1;
- 249 767 ÷ 2 = 124 883 + 1;
- 124 883 ÷ 2 = 62 441 + 1;
- 62 441 ÷ 2 = 31 220 + 1;
- 31 220 ÷ 2 = 15 610 + 0;
- 15 610 ÷ 2 = 7 805 + 0;
- 7 805 ÷ 2 = 3 902 + 1;
- 3 902 ÷ 2 = 1 951 + 0;
- 1 951 ÷ 2 = 975 + 1;
- 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.
999 070(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
999 070 (base 10) = 1111 0011 1110 1001 1110 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
