Study Notes

Binary Representation

Non-negative integers are represented in Binary with Most Significant Bit (MSB) and Least Significant Bit (LSB)
Binary representation uses only 2 symbols: 0 and 1

Binary Addition

Binary addition is similar to decimal addition, but with 2 digits only (0 and 1)
Carry and borrow rules apply, with careful handling of digits
Example: 5 + 7 in binary form (1012 + 1112) with carry and borrow

Binary Subtraction

Binary subtraction is similar to decimal subtraction
Example: 25 - 123 using 8-bit 2's complement representation

Binary Arithmetic Rules

Rules of Binary Addition:
- 0 + 0 = 0
- 0 + 1 = 1
- 1 + 0 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 0 (carry 1 to the next more significant bit)
Rules of Binary Subtraction:
- 0 - 0 = 0
- 0 - 1 = 1 (borrow 1 from more significant bit)
- 1 - 0 = 1
- 1 - 1 = 0
Rules of Binary Multiplication:
- 0 × 0 = 0
- 0 × 1 = 0
- 1 × 0 = 0
- 1 × 1 = 1 (no carry or borrow bits)

Binary Multiplication

Binary multiplication follows the same process as decimal multiplication
Multiply each digit of the second number by the first whole number, then add them, shifting each resulting multiplication one digit to the left.
