What are the required steps to convert base 10 integer
number 111 099 801 to signed binary code (in base 2)?
- A signed integer, written in base ten, or a decimal system number, is a number written using the digits 0 through 9 and the sign, which can be positive (+) or negative (-). If positive, the sign is usually not written. A number written in base two, or binary, 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;
- 111 099 801 ÷ 2 = 55 549 900 + 1;
- 55 549 900 ÷ 2 = 27 774 950 + 0;
- 27 774 950 ÷ 2 = 13 887 475 + 0;
- 13 887 475 ÷ 2 = 6 943 737 + 1;
- 6 943 737 ÷ 2 = 3 471 868 + 1;
- 3 471 868 ÷ 2 = 1 735 934 + 0;
- 1 735 934 ÷ 2 = 867 967 + 0;
- 867 967 ÷ 2 = 433 983 + 1;
- 433 983 ÷ 2 = 216 991 + 1;
- 216 991 ÷ 2 = 108 495 + 1;
- 108 495 ÷ 2 = 54 247 + 1;
- 54 247 ÷ 2 = 27 123 + 1;
- 27 123 ÷ 2 = 13 561 + 1;
- 13 561 ÷ 2 = 6 780 + 1;
- 6 780 ÷ 2 = 3 390 + 0;
- 3 390 ÷ 2 = 1 695 + 0;
- 1 695 ÷ 2 = 847 + 1;
- 847 ÷ 2 = 423 + 1;
- 423 ÷ 2 = 211 + 1;
- 211 ÷ 2 = 105 + 1;
- 105 ÷ 2 = 52 + 1;
- 52 ÷ 2 = 26 + 0;
- 26 ÷ 2 = 13 + 0;
- 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 number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
111 099 801(10) = 110 1001 1111 0011 1111 1001 1001(2)
3. Determine the signed binary number bit length:
The base 2 number's actual length, in bits: 27.
- 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) is reserved for 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, 27,
3) so that the first bit (leftmost) could be zero
(we deal with a positive number at this moment)
=== is: 32.
4. Get the positive binary computer representation on 32 bits (4 Bytes):
If needed, add extra 0s in front (to the left) of the base 2 number, up to the required length, 32:
111 099 801(10) Base 10 integer number converted and written as a signed binary code (in base 2):
111 099 801(10) = 0000 0110 1001 1111 0011 1111 1001 1001
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
