Digital Representation
Within a computer information is
represented and stored in a digital binary
format. The term bit is an abbreviation of
binary digit and represents the smallest piece
of data. Humans interpret words and pictures;
computers interpret only patterns of bits.
Carry out mensuration and calculation
Example: 25
Quotient Remainder
25/2 12 1
12/2 6 0
6/2 3 0
3/2 1 1
1/2 0 1
25 = 11001
Checking: 1 1 0 0 1 multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 equivalents
16 8 0 0 1 results
16+8+1 = 25
For example:
If a 20 KB file is stored in a 1 MB folder (1 MB
= 1,048,576 bytes of space);
A file is 20 KB in size
1 KB = 1,024 Bytes
20 * 1,024 = 20,480 bytes in a 20 KB file
then approximately a total of 51 files can be
stored in that folder (1,048,576 / 20,480 = 51.2).
