Binary to Decimal to Binary Conversion

Decimal System = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} 10 - digits

Binary System = {0, 1}2 - digits
Octal System = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}8 - digits
Hexadecimal System = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F} 16 digits
OBSERVE (have students read the number 8253 and record what they say)
8253 = 8000 + 200 + 50 + 3
= 8x1000 + 2x100 + 5x10 + 3x1
place value

= 8x103 + 2x102 + 5x101 + 3x100

base

This is called the expanded notation for the integer 8253.

The place values in the decimal system are the powers of 10, namely, (3, 2, 1, 0)
By analogy one can expand any binary number like 110101 in the same way.

OBSERVE (the binary number 110101 can be expanded the same way)
1101012 = 1x25 + 1x24 + 0x23 + 1x22 + 0x21 + 1x20
= 1x32 + 1x16 + 0x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 1x1
= 32 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1
= 5310
The place values in the binary system are the powers of 2, namely, (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)

Convert a binary number into a decimal number

Multiply each binary digit by its base 2 raised to its place value and then add all the products. It
is that simple.

Convert a decimal to binary

Divide successively the decimal number by 2 as shown below.

53/2
26/2
13/2
6/2
3/2
1/2

= 26 remainder 1
= 13 remainder 0
= 6 remainder 1
= 3 remainder 0
= 1 remainder 1
= 0 remainder 1
(MSB) 1 1 0 1 0 1 (LSB)

Binary Multiplication
The partial product is moved one position to the left as each successive
multiplier is used. Then you add the products two at a time.

Again we borrow from the first nonzero digit to the left, however now each

1 0 0 1 1

First subtract 3x102 times the

divisor from the dividend, then
4x101 times the divisor from the
dividend, then 6x100 times the
divisor from what is left. The
dividend originally contained the
divisor 3x102+4x101+6x100=346
times.

Binary division likewise reduces to repeated subtraction of the divisor times

a power of 2. {(1x24+1x23+0x22+1x21+1x20)=11011}

11011
