Research Topic Number Conversion

Abstract
(An abstract is concise, around eight to ten sentences, and is written in an objective, impersonal style)

The way in which the numbers are expressed is known as the number system. There are four main types of number
systems: Binary number system (Base - 2) octal number system (Base - 8) Decimal number system (Base - 10) Number
conversion is about how to convert a number of one base, to a number of another base. There are many methods or
techniques which can be used to convert numbers from one base to another. In this assignment we have converted a
specific binary number into a decimal number and vice versa.

Research Instrument
(What tools have been used to do this Research? Example: questionnaires, checklist, survey, interview)

 Objective
(What are you trying to achieve or aim of your findings, it has to be written in bullet points)

● To achieve the expected result by doing the correct calculations during the conversion of the decimal
number to the binary number.
● To achieve the expected result by doing the correct calculations during the conversion of the binary
number to the decimal number

Description/ Findings
(This is the body of the Research Assignment. This is a detailed and thorough information about the main
points of the argument)

Conversion of decimal number 13 into binary number equivalent.

· Step 1 − Divide the decimal number to be converted by the value of the

new base.

· Step 2 − Get the remainder from Step 1 as the rightmost digit (least
significant digit) of new base number.

· Step 3 − Divide the quotient of the previous divide by the new base.

· Step 4 − Record the remainder from Step 3 as the next digit (to the
left) of the new base number.

As mentioned in Steps 2 and 4, the remainders have to be arranged in the reverse order so that the first
remainder becomes the Least Significant Digit (LSD) and the last remainder becomes the Most Significant

Digit (MSD).

· Step 1 − Determine the column (positional) value of each digit (this

depends on the position of the digit and the base of the number
system).

· Step 2 − Multiply the obtained column values (in Step 1) by the digits
in the corresponding columns.

· Step 3 − Sum the products calculated in Step 2. The total is the

equivalent value in decimal.

 Other interesting things you have learned from this research

While doing this research assignment I have learned about some tricks and techniques. For example if I want
to convert decimal number 13 into its binary equivalent, I can use an easier method, in which I shall divide the
number in half and ignore the remainder of 0 or 1

1← 3← 6← 13. After I have reached 1, I shall write 1 below any of the numbers that are odd and 0 below
any of the numbers that are even.

 Conclusion
(This is a brief summary of all of the main points or facts mentioned in the body. There should be a
reiteration of the thesis statement. Students should give a closing remark or thought)

Thus, using this method where the decimal number shall be converted first is the correct technique for getting
a specified result in a decimal to binary and binary decimal conversion.
