    This document discusses binary and decimal number conversions. It introduces binary numbers as being made up of 0s and 1s, with 8 bits making a byte. It then provides examples of converting binary numbers to decimal and vice versa using place values of each bit position. It also discusses the least significant bit as being the leftmost 1 in a binary number when written without leading 0s. Finally, it provides a worksheet for additional practice with binary and decimal conversions.

    Binary & Decimal Conversions

    Binary to Decimal & Back Again


    Introduction to Binary Numbers
    • Binary numbers are made up of binary digits, each digit
    is called a BIT, taken from the words BI-nary digi-T.
    Binary digits are either 0 or 1.
    • Eight bits are grouped together to form a BYTE.
    • Binary numbers are numbers just like decimal numbers
    but are in base 2 instead of base 10. The base tells you
    how many digits can be used.

    In base 10 (decimal) there are 10:


    0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
    In base 2 (binary) there are 2:
    0, 1
    Binary to Decimal Conversion
    Remember 8 bits = a BYTE and each bit has a positional
    value so the first position is 20 = 1, the second position is
    21 = 2, the third position is 22 = 4, and so on…
    Take the binary number 11101 & place each in position.

    27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    1 1 1 0 1
    Next take the value for that position. Add 16+8+4+1=29
    notice 2 is not added in since its position has a 0,
    so binary 11101 is equal to decimal 29
    Check for Understanding
    • What is the value of 00100101 ?
    • What is the value of 11111110 ?
    • What is the value of 10000001 ?

    27 26 25 24 23 22 21 2 0
    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    37 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
    254 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
    129 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    Decimal to Binary Conversion
    Take the decimal number 75, look at each number starting
    75
    with 128, if it can be subtracted place a 1 otherwise place a
    -64 0. The first number that can be subtracted is 64 so place a
    0 below 128 & a 1 below 64. Subtract 64 from 75, the
    11 remainder is 11. The next number that can be subtracted is
    8 so place a 0 below 32, a 0 below 16, & a 1 below 8.
    -8
    Subtract 8 from 11, the remainder is 3. The next number
    3 that can be subtracted is 2 so place a 0 below 4 & a 1
    below the 2. Subtract 2 from 3, the remainder is 1. Place a
    -2 1 below the 1 & subtract 1, the remainder is 0 and you have
    1 the binary number 01001011
    27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
    -1
    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1
    Check for Understanding
    • What is decimal 83 in binary?
    • What is decimal 54 in binary?
    • What is decimal 255 in binary?

    27 26 25 24 23 22 21 2 0
    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    83 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1

    255 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    Least Significant Bit (LSB)
    • Let’s take another look at the binary number 01001011
    • Notice we can drop the leading 0 and express the
    binary number as 1001011
    • This is because the least significant bit is the leftmost 1
    which is necessary to maintain the accuracy of the
    binary number
    • Another way of expressing this is to ask what is the
    least number of bits needed to express the binary
    number 01001011 ? The answer is 7 (1001011)
    • Or we can ask what is the least number of bits needed
    to express 75? Again the answer is 7 (Notice this is a trick
    question since we are asking about the number of bits.)
    Check for Understanding
    • What is the least number of bits needed
    to express 3? 2 (binary number 11)
    • What is the least number of bits needed
    to express the binary number
    00011010? 5 (binary number 11010)
    • What is the least number of bits needed
    to express 67? 7 (binary number 1000011)
    BONUS Question:
    • How can you tell quickly if a binary
    number is odd or even?
    If the last bit is 0 the decimal number will be even.
    If the last bit is 1 the decimal number will be odd.
