BINARY SYSTEM

BINARY SYSTEM
• The binary system, also
known as base-2, is a
number system that uses
only two digits: 0 and 1, to
represent numbers. It's the
foundation of how
computers process
information because
electrical circuits can easily
represent these two states
(on or off). Each digit in a
binary number is called a
bit.
COUNTING BINARY NUMBERS
To count in binary, you use only two
digits: 0 and 1. Counting starts with 0,
then 1. When you reach the highest
digit (1), you add a new digit to the left
and reset the previous digit to 0, similar
to how you add a ten's place in decimal
when counting past 9.
RULES OF BINARY NUMBERS
•0 + 0 = 0
•0 + 1 = 1
•1 + 0 = 1
•1 + 1 = 10 (write down 0, carry-over
1)
•1 + 1 + 1 = 11 (write down 1, carry-
over 1)
11012 + 10112 =
_____________
Example: 10102 + 11102 =
_____________
Addition 10012 + 11112 =
of binary _____________
numbers 10112 + 1012 =
______________
11102 + 11102
=______________
