Number Systems Introduction Binary Number System The goal of this handout is to make you comfortable with the binary number system. We Binary means base 2 the prefix bi. Based on our earlier discussion of the decimal will correlate your previous knowledge of the decimal number system to the binary number system, the digits that can be used to count in this number system are 0 and 1.
That will lay the foundations on which our discussion of various The 0,1 used in the binary system are called binary digits bits representation schemes for numbers both integer and real numbers will be based. The bit is the smallest piece of information that can be stored in a computer. It can have one of two values 0 or 1.
Think of a bit as a switch that can be either on or off. For Decimal Number System example, Counting as we have been taught since kindergarten is based on the decimal number Bit Value system. Decimal means base 10 the prefix dec. Interpreting Bit Values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Since only two values can be are used to count. Again the concept of place values is applicable here as well. Example 1. Consider the number It can be represented as Example 3.
Consider the binary number The expanded representation has Example 4. It can be represented as: the advantage of making the base of the number system explicit. It is represented as The same notation is applicable to real numbers represented in binary notation. The key components of a byte are shown below in figure 1.
Byte The endian system may sometimes be used to represent the bit order within a byte. In this context, equation 5 refers to the little-endian ordering of bits within the byte. The most significant bit msb is the bit with the highest place value, while the least significant bit lsb denotes the bit position that has the lowest place value.
To convert the byte to the equivalent integer number, the formula in 5 is used. Operations such as multiplication and division can be implemented using addition and Self Exercise: What is the value of the bit pattern ? Again, we will correlate the addition and subtraction operations in the decimal number system to the binary number system. Answer: Example 5. Answer: 0 to The size of words is dependent on the underlying processor, but is usually an left.
At each place position, the digits are added and if the resulting number is a single even number of bytes typically 4 bytes. The number in binary is The sequencing of bytes to form larger numbers leads to the issue of which is the first The same principle applies to binary addition.
Rules for Binary Addition at the big end or the little end. Example 6. Consider the operation: Signed Magnitude Representation Carry 1 The signed magnitude representation uses the most significant bit to determine if the 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 number is positive or negative.
The 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 disadvantage however is that one bit pattern is wasted there are two possible representations for zero and subtraction cannot be performed using addition alone. Table Note that at the 2nd bit position, there is a carry of 1 into the 3rd bit position counting 4. The bottom digit is subtracted from the top digit, and the result written in the place value position in the 6 result.
If the top digit is less than the bottom digit, then we must 'borrow' from the next 7 place value position. Since the binary addition algorithm is already understood and already implemented in hardware, it can be reused to also perform Example 8. Consider the following operation 7 — 2. Substituting the bit patterns from the subtraction. That brings up the question — How are negative numbers represented in binary notation? The computer however does not have a means of representing signs.
Again computed by looking at the msb. The addition operation can be used to perform the limitations of the sign magnitude representation are not overcome there are two bit subtraction. Substituting the bit patterns from the table: Example 9. The bit pattern is 4 but the result should by 5 The algorithm Excess Notation goes as follows: The excess notation is a means of representing both negative and positive numbers in a 1.
The algorithm for computing 2. Convert the resulting number into binary format. The excess notation is a special case of the biased notation. To represent real numbers. The number requires seven places to represent the value.
If the number of places available to represent the number is limited to say four Table 7. The such as we can make flawless copies with the help of language used by the computers is in the form of binary binary data, it can be made easily, easy to understand, numbers that is in 0 and 1 form.
It is the lowest level low- level language, takes less space and any huge that helps the machine to read. Computer usually works in binary but gives answer in decimals and that helps it numbers can be represent with a chunk of bits. It is to save the space. This is important as it simplifies the an effective number system for computers because it design of computer and related technologies. It is why it is considered as the perfect numbering system inefficient for humans to use binary, however, for computer.
It is also considered easy and there is no because it requires so many digits to represent a comparison how much easier binary is than decimal. In number. For example, the no 77, takes only two this, we only need 2 digits, o and 1 while in decimal we digits in decimal but in binary it takes upto seven need 10 digits that made the process much harder. It is digits It can be converted into other number a method of storing simple numbers such as 35 and system such as Decimal, Octal, and Hexadecimal.
Hence, it takes more space in the Computers are having circuits that perform the microprocessor and that also affects the time. Conversion from binary base-2 to decimal base- 10 numbers and vice-versa is an important concept I. The decimal Binary numbers was first recognized by Claude counting system uses the base of 10 numbering Shannon, a mathematician at bell laboratories and system where each digit takes the place from 0 to 9. This system weights. It is basically written in base two.
In the decimal In the binary number system, each digit represents a number system, the left most digits are most place value. The first, from right to left represents significant while the right most digits are less the number of units; the second, represents the significant.
Examples of and list the powers of 2 from left to right. Then, binary numbers are: ,, and so on. It is increment the exponent by one for each power. If decimal has to resembles , 2 resembles and 6 resembles convert in binary, then the decimal number is divided in octal and by clubbing it, the final binary we will by 2 and the remainder will give the required binary get is with the base 2. For example- Decimal number to be converted in binary, then, it will be done as:- C. Binary to Hexadecimal The base of this system is It is widely used by programmers and developers as this system is human friendly.
It uses the decimal numeral system where the digits are from 0 to 9 and after that it uses six extra symbols that denotes the value from 10 to These symbols lie from A to F. To convert the binary into hexadecimal First, of, all, the entire binary no will be divided into the small and compact groups of four and from the The resultant binary number from the decimal specified notation of hexadecimal that particular number with the base 10 is with the group will be given the specific value.
For example:- Consider a binary number
