This document discusses digital representation and converting between decimal and binary numbers. It defines bits as the smallest unit of data that can have a value of 0 or 1, and bytes as consisting of 8 bits. Decimal numbers use the base 10 counting system with digits 0-9, while binary only uses two digits, 0 and 1, to represent numbers in a format understood by computers. The document provides an example of converting the decimal number 25 to the binary number 11001 by repeatedly dividing by 2 and recording the remainders. Students then practice converting several decimal numbers to binary through an activity.

DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OBJECTIVES a. Identify the different storage terms b. Convert Decimal Numbers to Binary Numbers c. Appreciate the importance of digital representation Bits and Bytes Bits - the smallest increment of data on a computer. It can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1
Bytes - the basic unit of information in computer storage
and processing consists of 8 adjacent binary digits (bits), each of which consists of a 0 or 1. The term bit is an abbreviation of binary digit and represents the smallest piece of data.
1. A bit can have only two possible
values, a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0). 2. A bit can be used to represent the state of something that has two states. Activity ASCII – American Standard Code of Information Interchange
- is a character encoding standard for
electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. What is Decimal Numbers?
- Is a number expressed in a counting
system that uses units of 10
Consist of 10 digits which is 0 - 9
What is Binary Numbers?
codes or digits that being understand by
computer system which has only 2 digits (0 & 1) Convert Decimal Numbers to Binary
1. To convert a decimal number to binary, all
you have to do is divide the number by 2. 2. Get the quotient and the remainder. Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, and get the quotient and remainder again. 3. Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0. Copy the remainder from bottom to top, and that is the binary equivalent. Example: 25 Quotient Remainder 25/2 12 1 12/2 6 0 6/2 3 0 3/2 1 1
