Why or why not can all numbers be represented in a binary system?
All numbers can be represented in a binary number system. Binary is the base 2 number system, meaning that there 2 possible values per place: 0 and 1. A decimal system allows for 10: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. In a decimal system, you carry out and add a space once you pass 9. Thus, you end up with a 1 in the second place and a 0 in the first. The first space then counts up again. Similarly, a binary system adds a place when it reaches 2. In a decimal system, there are 10x numbers which can be represented by a system with x places. In binary, there are 2x possible numbers. If the number of places is infinite, an infinite number of values can be represented. Negative numbers can be represented in a variety of ways, from a dash as is commonly used in decimal to a 2's complement to a sign bit (i.e. a 1 or a 0 which will tell the reader or the machine the sign of the number).
What is the decimal equivalent of 0XFFFF?
0X at the beginning represent a number in the hexadecimal system of units. FFFF is the hexadecimal equivalent of i) 65535 in decimal system of units ii) 1111111111111111 in binary system of units
What makes up 1 bit?
To answer this question, we need to do a quick review of our numbering system. The standard numbers we know and love are usually called "base 10" numbers. Base 10 means that every tenth number adds a new significant digit. In the binary number system, numbers can be represented with a series of zeros and ones. For example: 0,1,2,3,4,5... (base 10 numbers) would be written as: 0,1,10,11,100... (binary numbers) Binary numbers are useful because they can be represented as 1 or 0, TRUE or FALSE or HIGH or LOW in computers (which have a harder time understanding base 10 in hardware). A bit can be thought of a single digit in a binary number.
A 1 or 0 in the binary number system is called?
A 0 or 1 in a binary number is called a bit. A binary number is made up of only ones and zeroes.
What is radix in number system?
The radix refers to the base of a number system: the total number of possible digits. The decimal number system that we all use is base ten, as it has ten distinct digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). Commonly used bases in computing include binary, octal, and hexadecimal, which have two, eight, and sixteen digits, respectively.
