s are numerical systems that use , where every digit is represented by either a 0 or a 1. These digits, called s, are the basic building blocks of binary numbers. Combining four bits forms a , and eight bits make up a .
involves combining two binary numbers by adding their corresponding bits together, similar to how one would add decimal numbers. On the other hand, is performed by subtracting the corresponding bits of two binary numbers. These operations are fundamental in binary arithmetic and are utilized extensively in various computing applications.
is the process of converting a decimal or another non-binary number into its binary representation or vice versa. This conversion enables the interpretation of data between different numerical systems, facilitating compatibility and computation in digital systems.
is a binary representation of decimal numbers. It uses four bits to represent each decimal digit from 0 to 9. BCD is often employed in applications where precise decimal arithmetic is required, such as financial calculations or systems using numeric keypads.
While most numbers can be accurately represented in binary, some numbers with fractional parts require special consideration. s are designed to represent numbers with exponent parts and variable precision. They are commonly used in scientific calculations, engineering simulations, and other fields where high precision is necessary.
