BINARY Your name:

DENARY (decimal) number system uses 10 digits - 0 to 9 base10


BINARY number system uses the 2 digits - 0 & 1 base2

BITS & BYTES


1 bit = a binary digit eg 1 or 0

1 nibble = 4 bits eg 1 0 0 1

1 byte = 8 bits or 2 nibbles eg 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1

word - one byte or several bytes, the more bits the more powerful the computer,
eg, 16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits
bit
0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1
1 byte = 8 bits
word of 2 bytes or 16 bits

Binary number system exercises

Is binary new to you? Write 1 for Yes, 0 for No.

1 Binary (base2) numbers and their denary (base10) numbers


Study the 3 sequences of numbers below. Complete the grey cells first, then complete the binary table.
