Binary Number System – Class 7

Computer Notes
1. Introduction to Number Systems
A number system is a way to represent numbers using a set of symbols (called digits). The
most commonly used number system is the Decimal System, which uses 10 digits (0 to 9).

2. What is the Binary Number System?


The Binary Number System uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is also called the base-2 number
system. It is used by computers and digital devices to store and process data. Each digit in a
binary number is called a bit (short for binary digit).

3. Why Computers Use Binary


Computers are made of electronic circuits. These circuits can be ON (1) or OFF (0). Binary is
perfect for representing these two states.

4. Place Value in Binary System


Just like the decimal system has place values (ones, tens, hundreds…), binary place values
are based on powers of 2.

Binary Number: 1 0 1 1
Place Values: 2³ 2² 2¹ 2⁰ (8 4 2 1)

To find the decimal value of 1011:


= (1×8) + (0×4) + (1×2) + (1×1)
= 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11 in decimal

5. Converting Binary to Decimal


Steps:
1. Write the binary number.
2. Multiply each digit with 2 raised to the power of its position (from right, starting with 0).
3. Add the values.

Example: Convert 1101 to decimal


= (1×8) + (1×4) + (0×2) + (1×1) = 13
6. Converting Decimal to Binary
Steps:
1. Divide the number by 2.
2. Write down the remainder.
3. Divide the quotient by 2 again.
4. Repeat until quotient is 0.
5. Write remainders in reverse order.

Example: Convert 10 to binary


10 ÷ 2 = 5, remainder = 0
5 ÷ 2 = 2, remainder = 1
2 ÷ 2 = 1, remainder = 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0, remainder = 1
Binary = 1010

7. Fun Facts
• 1 Byte = 8 Bits
• 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
• All computer files (text, image, video) are stored in binary.
