What are the numbers in base 2?

Base two is also referred to as the binary number system.In the decimal system we use 10 different digits (0 to 9) to represent numbers. However, all numbers in binary consist of a combination of only 2 different digits; a "0" and/or a "1".All numbers can be represented using only these 2 digits.


What is the sum of the binary numbers?

The sum of binary numbers is also a binary number.


Can a positive number have the same binary code as a negative number?

No and Yes... No because as such the two numbers are different and convention will define what the bit pattern should represent. However, with 16 bits, the UNSIGNED bit pattern for 32768 is the same as the SIGNED pattern for -32768 BUT the two numbers are being represented in different ways (ie in different number systems). If the binary representation is a SIGNED number then the top bit will be set if it is negative and with 16 bits the possible range of numbers is -32768 to +32767 and so it is IMPOSSIBLE to represent +32768. With an UNSIGNED number of 16 bits the top bit has no such special meaning and the range possible is 0 to +65535, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to represent -32768. ie it is IMPOSSIBLE with 16 bits to represent -32768 and +32768 in the same number system as they have the same bit pattern, BUT in different number systems the bit pattern can be used to represent the two numbers as the different number systems cannot represent BOTH -32678 and +32768.

4 bits


Why is binary number system used in digital electronics?

Binary is simpler than decimal. And it is easy to represent binary numbers with signals, since only two states are required. For example, a low voltage state might represent a zero, and a high voltage state might represent a one. Or vice versa.


Does the term Binary represent a certain number?

No.


What are the binary number?

The only numbers involved in the binary number system are one and 0. They are called binary numbers because it relates to exponents of the number two.


What decimal number does the binary number 1000 0000 represent?

What hypothesis have scientists formulated about binaries?

The term binary is applied to a number of different things, such as binary stars, binary numbers, or binary chemical agents. Your question should be more specific.


What is the decimal number represent by the binary number 11100111?

How do you describe O and K and A by binary number system?

In order to answer that, it would first be necessary to know the numbers that "O", "K", and "A" represent.


How can you convert 110.101into decimalnumber system?

110.101 is already a decimal number. Unless that is intended to be two binary numbers with a decimal point between them for some reason. (decimal points are not used to represent fractional numbers in the binary system).
