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;
- 49 312 333 013 ÷ 2 = 24 656 166 506 + 1;
- 24 656 166 506 ÷ 2 = 12 328 083 253 + 0;
- 12 328 083 253 ÷ 2 = 6 164 041 626 + 1;
- 6 164 041 626 ÷ 2 = 3 082 020 813 + 0;
- 3 082 020 813 ÷ 2 = 1 541 010 406 + 1;
- 1 541 010 406 ÷ 2 = 770 505 203 + 0;
- 770 505 203 ÷ 2 = 385 252 601 + 1;
- 385 252 601 ÷ 2 = 192 626 300 + 1;
- 192 626 300 ÷ 2 = 96 313 150 + 0;
- 96 313 150 ÷ 2 = 48 156 575 + 0;
- 48 156 575 ÷ 2 = 24 078 287 + 1;
- 24 078 287 ÷ 2 = 12 039 143 + 1;
- 12 039 143 ÷ 2 = 6 019 571 + 1;
- 6 019 571 ÷ 2 = 3 009 785 + 1;
- 3 009 785 ÷ 2 = 1 504 892 + 1;
- 1 504 892 ÷ 2 = 752 446 + 0;
- 752 446 ÷ 2 = 376 223 + 0;
- 376 223 ÷ 2 = 188 111 + 1;
- 188 111 ÷ 2 = 94 055 + 1;
- 94 055 ÷ 2 = 47 027 + 1;
- 47 027 ÷ 2 = 23 513 + 1;
- 23 513 ÷ 2 = 11 756 + 1;
- 11 756 ÷ 2 = 5 878 + 0;
- 5 878 ÷ 2 = 2 939 + 0;
- 2 939 ÷ 2 = 1 469 + 1;
- 1 469 ÷ 2 = 734 + 1;
- 734 ÷ 2 = 367 + 0;
- 367 ÷ 2 = 183 + 1;
- 183 ÷ 2 = 91 + 1;
- 91 ÷ 2 = 45 + 1;
- 45 ÷ 2 = 22 + 1;
- 22 ÷ 2 = 11 + 0;
- 11 ÷ 2 = 5 + 1;
- 5 ÷ 2 = 2 + 1;
- 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.
49 312 333 013(10) = 1011 0111 1011 0011 1110 0111 1100 1101 0101(2)
3. Determine the signed binary number bit length:
The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 36.
- 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, 36,
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.
