Converting a Single Number ITU national point code to a multiple-part ITU national point code

A.4.4.1.1 Converting a Single Number ITU national point code to a multiple-part ITU national point code

Convert the point code to a binary number. This can be done with most scientific calculators.

The number 14781 converts to the binary number 11100110111101.

The number 695 converts to the binary number 1010110111.

Note:
Make sure the binary number contains 14 digits. If it does not, add leading zeros to the binary number to bring the total number of digits in the number to 14.

In this example, the binary equivalent for the decimal number 695 (1010110111) contains 10 digits; four zeros must be added to the beginning of the binary number. The resulting binary number is now 00001010110111.
Divide the binary number into the number of parts required by the format of the ITU national point code. For this example, the format is 3-8-3-0. Because the last part of the point code format is 0, the point code format contains only three parts. Divide the point code into three parts, the first part of the point code contains the first three digits of the 14-digit binary number, the second part of the point code contains the next eight digits of the 14-digit binary number, and the third part of the point code contains the last three digits of the 14-digit binary number.

For this example, the binary numbers would be divided like this:

11100110111101 = 111 00110111 101

00001010110111 = 000 01010110 111
Convert each part of the point code into a decimal number using the same scientific calculator used in step 1 and separate each part of the point code with dashes. The results are as follows.

111 00110111 101 = 7-55-5

000 01010110 111 = 0-86-7
