Inter-Conversions in Various Number Systems:
- Binary to Decimal Conversion:
- To convert a binary number to decimal, multiply each digit of the binary number by 2 raised to the power of its position from right to left, starting from 0.
- Add the results together to obtain the decimal equivalent. Example: Convert binary number 1011 to decimal: 1 * 2^3 + 0 * 2^2 + 1 * 2^1 + 1 * 2^0 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11 (decimal)
- Decimal to Binary Conversion:
- To convert a decimal number to binary, repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and record the remainders in reverse order.
- The binary equivalent is obtained by reading the remainders from bottom to top. Example: Convert decimal number 13 to binary: 13 ÷ 2 = 6 remainder 1 6 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 0 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1 Binary equivalent: 1101
- Binary to Octal Conversion:
- To convert a binary number to octal, group the binary digits into groups of three from right to left. Add leading zeros if necessary.
- Convert each group of three binary digits to its octal equivalent. Example: Convert binary number 1011101 to octal: 101 110 1 (grouped into three) Octal equivalent: 5 6 1 Octal representation: 561
- Octal to Binary Conversion:
- To convert an octal number to binary, convert each octal digit to its binary equivalent. Example: Convert octal number 46 to binary: 4 -> 100 6 -> 110 Binary equivalent: 100110
- Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion:
- To convert a binary number to hexadecimal, group the binary digits into groups of four from right to left. Add leading zeros if necessary.
- Convert each group of four binary digits to its hexadecimal equivalent. Example: Convert binary number 10110101 to hexadecimal: 1011 0101 (grouped into four) Hexadecimal equivalent: B5 Hexadecimal representation: B5
- Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion:
- To convert a hexadecimal number to binary, convert each hexadecimal digit to its binary equivalent. Example: Convert hexadecimal number 2E9A to binary: 2 -> 0010 E -> 1110 9 -> 1001 A -> 1010 Binary equivalent: 0010111010011010
Binary Arithmetic:
- Addition:
- Perform binary addition similar to decimal addition, starting from the rightmost bit.
- Carry over if the sum exceeds 1. Example: 1011
- 0110
10001 (carry over 1)
- Subtraction:
- Perform binary subtraction similar to decimal subtraction, using the concept of borrowing.
- Borrow from higher bits if necessary. Example: 1011
- 0110
0101 (borrow 1)
- Multiplication:
- Perform binary multiplication using the same process as decimal multiplication, multiplying each bit of one number with each bit of the other and shifting appropriately. Example: 1011 x 110
1011 (shifted) 1011 (shifted) +1011 (shifted)
1000010
- Division:
- Perform binary division using the same process as decimal division, using repeated subtraction and shifting. Example: 1011 ÷ 10 Quotient: 101 Remainder: 1
Understanding inter-conversions between binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems, as well as binary arithmetic operations, is essential for various computer-related tasks, including programming, digital logic design, and data manipulation.
