Introduction to Binary

Arithmetic

Brief overview: This presentation will cover the basics of binary


arithmetic, including binary representation, binary addition, and binary
subtraction. We will also discuss how binary arithmetic is used in
computing.
What is Binary Arithmetic?
Binary arithmetic is a method of performing
arithmetic operations using only two digits, 0 and 1.
All data in a computer is stored and processed using binary digits,
or bits, which are either 0 or 1. Therefore, understanding binary
arithmetic is crucial in computing and computer programming.
Understanding binary arithmetic is fundamental to
working with computers and computer programming.
Binary Representation
The binary number system is a base-2 number system, meaning
it uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent numbers.
The decimal number system is a base-10 number system, meaning it
uses ten digits, 0 to 9, to represent numbers. In contrast, the binary
number system uses only two digits, 0 and 1.
For example, the decimal number 5 is
represented as 101 in binary.
Converting Binary to Decimal and Decimal
to Binary
The number systems we use in everyday life, such as
decimal (base-10), are not the only ones in existence.
In computing, binary (base-2) is commonly
used for representing and processing data.
Converting between these two number systems is an important
skill for anyone interested in computing or data science.
Understanding the Base-2 Number System
Binary is a base-2 number system, which means it has
two digits (0 and 1) that represent different values.

Each digit in a binary number is called a bit.


The place values in binary are powers of 2: 1,
2, 4, 8, 16, etc.
Examples of binary numbers: 1011 (eleven),
111010 (fifty-eight).
Understanding the Base-10 Number System
Decimal is a base-10 number system, which means
it has ten digits (0-9) that represent different values.
Each digit in a decimal number is called a
digit.
The place values in decimal are powers of 10:
1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.
Examples of decimal numbers: 123, 4567.
Converting Binary to Decimal
To convert a binary number to decimal, multiply each
bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add the results.

Example: 1011 (eleven) = (1 x 8) + (0 x 4) +


(1 x 2) + (1 x 1) = 11.
Another example: 111010 (fifty-eight) = (1 x 32) +
(1 x 16) + (1 x 8) + (0 x 4) + (1 x 2) + (0 x 1) = 58.
Converting Decimal to Binary
To convert a decimal number to binary, repeatedly divide the
number by 2 and record the remainders (in reverse order).

Example: 123 = 1 x 2^6 + 1 x 2^5 + 1 x 2^4


+ 1 x 2^1 + 1 x 2^0 = 1111011 (binary).
Another example: 4567 = 1 x 2^12 + 0 x 2^11 + 0 x 2^10 + 0 x 2^9
+ 1 x 2^8 + 1 x 2^7 + 1 x 2^6 + 0 x 2^5 + 1 x 2^4 + 0 x 2^3 + 1 x
2^2 + 1 x 2^1 + 1 x 2^0 = 1000111010111 (binary).
Comparison and Applications
Binary and decimal are two different number
systems with unique features and uses.
Binary is base-2 and uses only 2 digits, while
decimal is base-10 and uses 10 digits.
Conversion between binary and decimal is important for various applications, such as:
Data storage and transmission (e.g., representing text, images, and other types of data as binary numbers)
Cryptography (e.g., encrypting and decrypting messages using binary operations)
Computing and programming (e.g., working with binary code
