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;
- 1 111 000 999 650 ÷ 2 = 555 500 499 825 + 0;
- 555 500 499 825 ÷ 2 = 277 750 249 912 + 1;
- 277 750 249 912 ÷ 2 = 138 875 124 956 + 0;
- 138 875 124 956 ÷ 2 = 69 437 562 478 + 0;
- 69 437 562 478 ÷ 2 = 34 718 781 239 + 0;
- 34 718 781 239 ÷ 2 = 17 359 390 619 + 1;
- 17 359 390 619 ÷ 2 = 8 679 695 309 + 1;
- 8 679 695 309 ÷ 2 = 4 339 847 654 + 1;
- 4 339 847 654 ÷ 2 = 2 169 923 827 + 0;
- 2 169 923 827 ÷ 2 = 1 084 961 913 + 1;
- 1 084 961 913 ÷ 2 = 542 480 956 + 1;
- 542 480 956 ÷ 2 = 271 240 478 + 0;
- 271 240 478 ÷ 2 = 135 620 239 + 0;
- 135 620 239 ÷ 2 = 67 810 119 + 1;
- 67 810 119 ÷ 2 = 33 905 059 + 1;
- 33 905 059 ÷ 2 = 16 952 529 + 1;
- 16 952 529 ÷ 2 = 8 476 264 + 1;
- 8 476 264 ÷ 2 = 4 238 132 + 0;
- 4 238 132 ÷ 2 = 2 119 066 + 0;
- 2 119 066 ÷ 2 = 1 059 533 + 0;
- 1 059 533 ÷ 2 = 529 766 + 1;
- 529 766 ÷ 2 = 264 883 + 0;
- 264 883 ÷ 2 = 132 441 + 1;
- 132 441 ÷ 2 = 66 220 + 1;
- 66 220 ÷ 2 = 33 110 + 0;
- 33 110 ÷ 2 = 16 555 + 0;
- 16 555 ÷ 2 = 8 277 + 1;
- 8 277 ÷ 2 = 4 138 + 1;
- 4 138 ÷ 2 = 2 069 + 0;
- 2 069 ÷ 2 = 1 034 + 1;
- 1 034 ÷ 2 = 517 + 0;
- 517 ÷ 2 = 258 + 1;
- 258 ÷ 2 = 129 + 0;
- 129 ÷ 2 = 64 + 1;
- 64 ÷ 2 = 32 + 0;
- 32 ÷ 2 = 16 + 0;
- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 + 0;
- 8 ÷ 2 = 4 + 0;
- 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.
1 111 000 999 650(10) = 1 0000 0010 1010 1100 1101 0001 1110 0110 1110 0010(2)
3. Determine the signed binary number bit length:
The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 41.
- A signed binary's bit length must be equal to a power of 2, as of:
- 21 = 2; 22 = 4; 23 = 8; 24 = 16; 25 = 32; 26 = 64; ...
- The first bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign:
- 0 = positive integer number, 1 = negative integer number
The least number that is:
1) a power of 2
2) and is larger than the actual length, 41,
3) so that the first bit (leftmost) could be zero
(we deal with a positive number at this moment)
=== is: 64.
4. Get the positive binary computer representation on 64 bits (8 Bytes):
If needed, add extra 0s in front (to the left) of the base 2 number, up to the required length, 64.
