​Intro to Binary

Let's learn binary!

2. Before we start, I would like to ask you what you think binary is and
how it works. If you have no idea what binary is, that's totally fine :)

​Decimal

What is Decimal?
The Decimal System is how we write numbers.
​We can represent numbers by "expanding" them.

123 = 1 * 102​+ 2 * 101 + 3 * 100

Decimal

How It Works
Notice the excessive use of tens in decimal representation, since in
decimal, we use the ones place, the tens place, the hundreds place, and
so on, multiplying every time by ten.​

Therefore, there is no digit for ten, since​we have the tens place.

​Binary

What Is Binary?
​123 can be represented as 1 * 102​+ 2 * 101 + 3 * 100

We can alternatively write it as so.​​

123 = 1 * 26 + 1 * 25 + 1 * 24​+​​1 * 23​+​0 * 22​+​​1 * 21​+​​1 * 20

​Binary

How It Works
​123 = 1 * 26 + 1 * 25 + 1 * 24​+​​1 * 23​+​0 * 22​+​​1 * 21​+​​1 * 20

Notice how we only multiply the powers of two by 0 or 1.

This is because, if we say ​that 2 = 2 * 20 it is the same thing as 21
So, 123 = 11110112

About Binary

​Binary

Examples
24 = 1 * 2​4 + 1 * 23 + 0 * 22 + 0 * 21 + 0 * 20
24 = ​110002

11 = 1 * 23​+ 0 * 22 + 1 * 21 + 1 * 20
11 = ​10112

Binary Examples

​Decimal to Binary
Let's turn 45 into binary. We need to divide by 2 until we reach 0.​
43 / 2 = 21 rem 1
​Now, we list the remainders from the bottom to
21 / 2 = 10 rem 1
the top.
10 / 2 = 5 rem 0
5 / 2 = 2 rem 1
​So 43 in binary is 101011
2 / 2 = 1 rem 0
1 / 2 = 0 rem 1​

9. What is 27 in binary?

A 11011 B 11101

C 100011 D 111100

10.

​Octal and Hexadecimal

Octal is like binary but we have powers of 8, and we can multiply by the
digits 0 - 7 rather than just 0 and 1.

Hexadecimal is similar, but we have powers of 16, and
​ exadecimal
H by the digits 0Digits
- 15​.

The hexadecimal digits from 0 through 9 are the same as decimal digits.
0, 1, 2,Octal and
3, 4, 5, 6, 7,Hexadecimal
8, 9

The hexadecimal digits from 10 through 15 are represented via letters.

A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15.
AD = 10 * 161 + 13 * 160

​All Bases to Decimal

Turn 1012 from binary to decimal Turn A416 from hex to decimal​
1012 = 1 * 22 + 0 * 21 + 1 * 20 = 5​​ A416​= 10 (A) * 161 + 4 * 160 = ​164

Turn 248 from octal to decimal

124​8 = 1 * 82 + 2 * 81 + 4 * 80 = 84​​

To decimal

13.

​Which Base?
1012

101​8

One of these numbers is in binary and one is in octal.​But they are the
same. How do you know which is which? There is a small subscript.
