Binary Multiplication and Division Quiz

Binary Representation

• Unsigned binary representation can only represent positive binary numbers.
• Signed binary representation, such as 2's complement, can represent both positive and negative numbers.

2's Complement Form

• During add and subtract operations in 2's complement form, the carry generated from the most significant bit (MSB) is discarded.
• The main advantage of using 2's complement signed representation is that it simplifies the handling of positive and negative numbers.

Binary Counters

• A 5-digit car odometer can reach a maximum count of 99999 before rolling back to 00000.
• A calculator with an 8-digit display has a limitation in handling integer numbers, as it can only display up to 8 digits.

Binary Shift Operations

• The multiplication factor is determined by 2^n when there are n number of bit shifts.
• Shifting a binary number left by 3 bits results in the original number multiplied by 2^3.
• Shifting the binary number 11000 left by 3 bits results in 11000000.
• In binary division, the division factor is determined by 2^n when there are n bit shifts.
• Shifting a binary number right by 2 bits results in the original number divided by 2^2.
• Shifting the binary number 01010 right by 2 bits results in 00101.

Binary Numbers and Operations

• Positive and negative numbers are represented in digital systems using the binary number system, where 0 represents positive and 1 represents negative.
• A right shift by a single bit signifies a division by 2.
• A Borrow occurs in binary subtraction when the result of a subtraction is negative.
• Binary subtraction is similar to decimal subtraction, with the exception of borrowing.
• The result of multiplying 1 by 0 in binary is 0.
• Binary multiplication is different from decimal multiplication in that it uses bitwise operations.
• A left shift by a single bit accomplishes a multiplication by 2.
• Borrowing is necessary in binary subtraction to ensure correct results when subtracting a larger number from a smaller number.
