Reading Binary numbers


Reading Binary Numbers
• In the previous lessons we learnt that binary numbers uses two digits
0’s and 1’s
• Binary numbers are also called base 2
• Decimal number uses ten digits ranging from Zero to Nine(0-9).
• Decimal numbers are also called denary or base 10
• The value of each column in a decimal number is 10 times greater
than the previous column.
• The values of each column in binary number is 2 times greater than
the previous column.

Base 10 Base 2
How to read binary numbers
• The easiest way to read binary numbers is to convert in to 32 16 8 4 2 (1)
decimal numbers , because we use decimal numbers every day
and it is much easier to understand. 1 1 0 1 1
Example
>> The binary number shown here 1101, and here is the easiest 1×0=0
way to convert in to decimal number. 0×2=0
I. Draw the table like the one in an example , it must have 1×4=4
enough column to hold the binary number to be converted . 1×8=8
Total=13=1101
II. In the first raw ,write the value of each column ,start with Example 2
units (1) in the right hand column then multiply by two Convert 11110 in to decimal
each time you move from right to left. 0×0=0
1×2=2
III. Write the number you want to convert in the second raw of 1×4=4
your table. 1×8=8
1×16=16
IV. Multiply each digit in the number you want to convert by
Total=30=11110
the column value.
Example 3
V. Add the result together .The total is the value of the binary Convert 11111 into decimal
number as a decimal. Total=31=11111
Convert the following binary to denary using the positional formulae
a. 1110= (1x23=8 ) (1x22=4 )(1x21=2 ) (ox20=0)(answer is 14)

b. 00101= (1x22=4)(0x21=0)(1x20=1)=answer is 5
c. 00110=()()(1x22=4)(1x21=2(0x20=0) answer is 6
d. 11111=(1x24=16)(1x23=8)(1x22=4)(1x21=2)(1x20=1)= answer 31

Bit and Bites
 The word bit is short for binary digit. Each digit in binary number is called a bit
(1111),
 A bit is not very useful on its own, it can only store one of two values 0(off ) or 1(on)
 A byte is a group of bits (eight bits grouped together).=(00000000)
 There are eight bits in a bytes .
>>>>>1 byte is Equal 8 bits
>> 1101 this is a four bit number.
>>11111111, this is a eight bit number or a byte.
 8bits=1byte
 Ten and eleven are example of names of numbers in decimal system . Every number in
decimal system have its name
 Numbers are not given names in binary.
 The binary number 11 , this is called ‘one-one’ what can we call This”10”
 Decimal number eleven and binary number 11 are different.

Converting Decimal to Binary
Method 1
• To convert a decimal integer to a binary number, use the same method as above, but
working the other way. For example, to convert the number 98:Write down the power of 2
sequence. (Eight bits are used here but you will notice that you only need seven for this
example.)
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0
● Starting from the MSB put a 1 or 0 in each column as necessary to
ensure that it adds up to 98 as follows:
● 0 under 128
● 1 under 64
● 1 under 32
● 0 under 16
● 0 under 8
● 0 under 4
● 1 under 2
● 0 under 1
Therefore 01100010 = 98.
1024 512 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1 1 1 1 0 0

Example Example 3
Convert 85 into binary Convert 40 to binary number
85-64= 21 40-32=8
21-16=5 40 is=101000
5-4=1
Convert 150 to binary
Therefore 85 is= 1010101 150=10010110
Example 4
Example 2 Convert 600 to binary
Convert 130 in to binary number 600-512=88
130>128 88-64=24
130-128=2 24-16=8
600 is= 1001011000
130 is =10000010
Method 2
• This method involves successive division by 2.
• The remainders are then read from BOTTOM to TOP to give the binary
value. Again using 107, we get:
87 rem
