Problem 1 Blown to bits
Find the binary numbers corresponding to the decimal numbers below.
Go through the multipliers from left to right. If a multiplier needs to be included in the
sum, set the corresponding binary digit to 1 and proceed with the number that remains.
Here is an example:
13 1 1 0 1
5 1 0
16 1 0 0 0 0
19 1 0 0 1 1
23 1 0 1 1 1
30 1 1 1 1 0
You don’t have to convert each individual number into binary. Instead, think about which
binary digits need to be ‘flipped’ in a number, in order to produce the next one.
1 1
2 1 0
3 1 1
4 1 0 0
5 1 0 1
6 1 1 0
7 1 1 1
8 1 0 0 0
9 1 0 0 1
10 1 0 1 0
11 1 0 1 1
