Study Notes
Binary Numbering System
- Named after its base, which is 2
- Has 2 digits: 0 and 1
- Position values for a binary number are 2^x, where x is an exponent, and each position is twice the weight of the preceding one
Importance in Digital Electronics and Computing
- Used extensively in digital electronics and computing due to ease of representation using switches (0 = "off", 1 = "on")
- Allows for electronic storage and manipulation of data using digital circuits
Representation and Manipulation
- Used for representing and manipulating large binary numbers or expressing memory addresses in a compact format
- Computer programs and programming languages use number system concepts to perform arithmetic operations, store data, and communicate with hardware devices
Binary Arithmetic Operations
-
Addition
- 0 + 0 = 0
- 0 + 1 = 1
- 1 + 0 = 1
- 1 + 1 = 10 (write 0, carry 1 to the next higher bit)
-
Subtraction
- 0 - 0 = 0
- 1 - 0 = 1
- 1 - 1 = 0
- 0 - 1 = 1 with borrow from the next higher bit
-
Multiplication
- 0 * 0 = 0
- 0 * 1 = 0
- 1 * 0 = 0
- 1 * 1 = 1
- Multiply each digit of the second number by each digit of the first, then sum the results
-
Division
- Divide a dividend by a divisor to find a quotient and possibly a remainder
- Subtract in binary, bringing down the next digit
