Data Representation: Convert 56 To Binary Number Convert 25 To Binary Number

This document discusses data representation and binary numbers. It explains that data is represented using binary digits (bits) and 8 bits make up a byte. It then covers converting decimals to binary and binary to decimal. Additional topics include adding binary digits, negative numbers represented with two's complement, Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and ASCII character encoding.

BETHEL HIGH DATA Data is represented using binary numbers

SCHOOL
0,1
REPRESENTATION These binary digits are known as bits
8 of these bits make up a byte
A byte represents an alphabetical letter or
some other character (one of the many
symbols on the keyboard)
Eg. A is 01000001
a is 01100001
a space is 00100000

CONVERTING DECIMALS TO
Binary Digits BINARY DIGITS

0= 0 This is done by continually dividing by 2


1= 1 and using the remainders (including 0)
2 = 10 from the bottom up to form the binary
3 = 11 number
4 = 100
5 = 101
6 = 110
7 = 111
8 = 1000

Convert 56 to binary number Convert 25 to binary number

Divide 56 continually by 2 until it cannot be


divided keeping the remainders in mind
2 56 2 25
2 28 + 0 2 12 + 1
2 14 + 0 2 6 +0
2 7 +0 2 3 +0
2 3 +1 111000 2 1 +1 11001
1 +1 therefore 56 = 111000 therefore 25 = 11001

Converting Binary numbers to
Convert the following to decimal
Decimal numbers
The place value of binary numbers is as 11001 is
follows:
1x16 1x8 0x4 0x2 1x1 = 16+8+0+0+1=25
32s 16s 8s 4s 2s 1s
Ie multiply by 2 to get the next place
111000 is
value on the left
1x32 1x16 1x8 0x4 0x2 0x1 =
32+16+8+0+0+0=56

Adding Binary Digits Example 2


1+0= 1 0+1=1 0+0=0 111
1+1=10 1+1+1=11 11101 1+1+1 = 3
1
+ 1111 3 = 11
eg 1001 1+1 = 10 100 place 1 in answer
+ 101 place 0 in answer and carry the 1
0 carry the 1
1

1001
+ 101
111 0

Example 2 contd Example 2 contd


1111 1111
11101 1+1+1 = 3 11101 1+1 = 10
+ 1111 3 = 11 + 1111
1100 place 1 in answer 101100 place 10 in answer
and carry the 1 since there is no more
digit to be added

Ans = 101100

Negative Numbers What is -25 ( using 8 bits)?

Twos Complement From slide no. six 25 was 11001


1. Switch all digits With 8 bits this will be 00011001
2. Add 1 to final digit Switch the digits 11100110
Eg Twos complement of 00010101 Add 1 to final digit +1
a) Switch the digits to get 11101010 11100111
b) Then add 1 to final digit +1
11101011 Therefore -25 is 11100111

Negative numbers BCD- Binary Coded Decimal

Sign and Magnitude Each decimal digit is represented by a four


The first digit represents the sign while the digit binary number
other 7 digits represent the number
0 represents a positive number Eg the BCD of 128 is
1 = 0001
1 represents a negative number
2 = 0010
8 = 1000
Eg 25 is 00011001 Therefore 128 = 0001 0010 1000
-25 is 10011001 000100101000

BCD- Binary Coded Decimal


ASCII ( pronounced askey)
If we need to represent a negative BCD
we must use 1111 in front of the positive  Most popular method of representing
BCD
characters in the computer
For example 128 = 0001 0010 1000
 A(merican) S(tandard) C(ode for)
Therefore -128 = 1111 0001 0010 1000
I(nformation) I(nterchange).]
For the positive BCD we may put 1110 in
front of the positive BCD or leave it as it is  For eg A is 01000001
For example 128 = 0001 0010 1000  a is 01100001
or 128 = 1110 0001 0010 1000  a space is 00100000
