Ready to Learn

At the start of every lesson we get ourselves ready to learn so that we can learn lots in every lesson
and make huge progress in every lesson. We show that we are ready to learn by:

Always arriving on time and sitting down straight away


Taking our coats and bags off
Unpacking all our equipment
Listening for the start of the lesson

QFL : How can we use binary to represent


letters and numbers?

• Please log straight on, and log into office 365


• Binary lesson 2

Units of data storage and binary numbers
Unit 2 Data representation

Bits and bytes


• Many units are used for data storage in computers
• 1 bit = a single 0 or 1
• 1 byte = 8 bits = 1 character of text
• (A nibble = 4 bits or half a byte)
• 1 kB (kilobyte) = 1000 bytes

Binary and denary number


systems
• Denary is a base 10 number system with 10 digits 0-9
• Why do we usually use 10 digits?

• Binary is a base 2 number system with 2 digits,


0 and 1

Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Units

1000 100 10 1
2 7 0 3
2x1000 + 7x100 + 0x10 + 3x1 = 2703

Binary works in exactly the same way

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0
1x128 + 1x16 + 1x4 + 1x2 =?

Representing values
• Consider the same byte value 0011 1001
• This is represented in denary as 57
• As an electrical circuit this could be represented as:

0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1

Denary to binary
• How do you convert 28 to binary?
• Method
• Working right to left, write out the numbers 1, 2, 4, 8 and so on, doubling each time to
128

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
• 128, 64 and 32 are all greater than 28, so put a zero for these
• Put a 1 in the 16 column, 28-16=12
• Put a 1 in the 8 column, 12-8 = 4
• Put a 1 in the 4 column, 4-4=0 so put zero in other columns
Converting Denary to Binary
What is the denary value of these binary number?

Denary to binary

7 = ?

13 = ?
