BINARY NUMBERS
Numbers in base two are called binary numbers at is made up two digit is 0 and 1
Converting base 10 numbers to base two number
We do this by dividing the base ten number repeatedly by 2, writing down the remainder until we get to zero and reading the remainder upwards.
Example: (a) Write 810 to a number in base two
b) Express 85 in a binary number
c) Convert 10710 to a number in the base two
d) Convert 152ten to a number in base two
e) Convert 3/8ten to a binary fraction (bicimal)
f) Express 15.12510 in binary notation

Exercise: Convert the following binary numbers.
(a) 72 (b) (c) 0.875 (d) 32
Converting Base Two Numbers to Base 10 Numbers
We express the given binary numbers as a sum of multiples of powers of two 20, 21, 22, 23 etc.
Example: Convert (i) 101two (ii) 10.10012 (iii) 1112
SOLUTION
- 1012 = 1×22 + 0x21 + 1×20
= 4 + 0 + 1
= 510 - 1112 = 1×22 + 1×21 + 1×20
= 4 + 2 + 1
= 910 - 10.10012 = 1×21 + 0x20 + 1 x 2 -1 + 0 x 2-2 + 0 x 2-3 + 1 x 2-4
= 2 + 0 + + 0 + 0 +
=
= 210
- 101012 = 1 x 24 + 0 x 23 + 1 x 22 + 0 x 21 + 1 x 20
= 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1
= 2710
Exercise: If 1102 = P10. Find the value of P
Assignment

ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION IN BINARY NUMBERS
Examples
- Add 1011112 and 100112
- Subtract 100112 from 1011112
