Exercise 4 Adding binary values

Binary values can be added together. Make sure that you show your working when adding the binary values.

1 Add the 4-bit binary values 0001 and 0110. 2 Add the 4-bit binary values 0101 and 0010.

0 0 0 1 0   1   0   1

+ 0  1  1 0       + 0 0 1 0     

3 Add the 8-bit binary values 00101000 and 01100011. 4 Add the 8-bit binary values 10101010 and 01110111.

0 0 1 0    1   0 0 0   1   0 1 0   1     0 1 0
