In binary arithmetic, two's complement zero is significant because it represents the neutral or "zero" value in the system. It serves as a reference point for positive and negative numbers, allowing for efficient addition and subtraction operations.

One easy way to do this if you're new is to find what is called the 'two's complement' of the second number. This is how negative numbers are represented in binary, and since subtracting is the same as adding a negative, it is also an efficient way of subtracting two binary numbersTo start, flip all of the 1's to 0's and vice versa. This is known as the one's complement.Change: 1011 0101 0001 1101To: 0100 1010 1110 0010Next, add 10100 1010 1110 0010+ 1___________________0100 1010 1110 0011Now you have your two's complement. Keep in mind this is the negative representation of the second number, the one you were subtracting from the first. The next step is to add this to the first binary number.0110 1001 1110 1001+ 0100 1010 1110 0011____________________1011 0100 1100 1100When adding, make sure to reference base 10's rules. every time you have a number greater than 9 in x place, you carry one over to the place directly left and write your excess down. For example:123+18____?I'm pretty sure you know that 8+3=11. Instead of writing 11 down, however, you mark down a 1 and carry a 1 to the tens place.1123+18____1next, you would add up 2+1+1, the last one being carried over from the previous steps. Summed up, for every ten in the ones place, you have one in the tens place.Since base 2 only works with 0's and 1's, this process can seem slightly more confusing than normal.In closing, here are some small examples that will help you work through larger problems.110000 0001+ 0000 0011___________0000 01001 1110100 0011+1100 0111______________0001 0000 1010
200 MB is an amount of memory used by a device or transferred through binary one megabyte is equal to 1048576bytes this is not a round number because binary works in twos (x,y or on and off) so 2,4,8,16...
In one GigaByte, or GB, there are 1,000 Mega Bites, or MBs. More acurately, a computer can only count by 2's (base 2). A person counts by tens. One, ten, one hundred, one thousand etc. A computer counts by twos. One, two, four, eight, 16,32,64,128,256,512, 1024. 1024 is so close to 1000 that most people refere to 1K as 1000 when actually it is 1024. there are 1024Mbytes in 1 Gbyte. 1G =1024M, 1M=1024K, 1Kbyte=1024bytes. There are 1000*1000*1000bytes in 1Gbyte(1,000,000,000bytes in 1gigabyte), or more acuratly (1024*1024*1024) or 1,073,741,824bytes in a gigabyte. There are 1024MBytes in 1GB
