It is relatively easy to code things in terms of on-and-off or magnetised-and-not (magnetic storage), or pit-or-no-pit (CDs). Coding in terms of 10 levels of magnetisation or ten depths of pits is much more difficiult and prone to error - both in writing and reading.
A computer only understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
Computer's understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
It is called binary arithmetic.
Computer's only understand binary, which is 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."
A 5-bit binary counter, interpreted as an unsigned integer, has a range of 0 to 31. Interpreted as a two's complement signed integer, it has a range of -16 to +15.
decimal computer
Binary is easier for the computer to understand. It is also easier to handle and is not costly.
The addition and multiplication table is much simpler. Also, on a computer it is easier to distinguish two different states than ten different states. For these reasons, modern computers do most of their calculations internally in binary.
If you want to add numbers in different bases, in this case decimal and binary, or do any other calculation that involves different bases for that matter, you have to convert all numbers to a single system first - for example, all to decimal. Then you can do the operation. It is really up to you in what base you represent the final answer. In this example, you can convert back to binary, for example.
If 110 is binary, and you want the answer in decimal form,110 in binary = 6 in decimal, so binary 1102 = decimal 62 = 36If 110 is decimal, and you want the answer in binary form,Decimal 1102 = 12100; decimal 12100 in binary is 10111101000100
Binary 10000111 = Decimal 135
The binary number for the decimal 134 is calculated as 128+4+2=10000110. The binary number system is used internally on almost all computers and computer based devices like cell phones.
Decimal 30 = binary 11110. The decimal binary code (BCD), however, is 11 0000.
Decimal 181 in binary is 10110101
Decimal 4 is binary 100.
decimal [ 123 ] = binary [ | | | | 0 | | ]
69 in decimal = 1000101 in binary.
