Binary and Denary Number Conversion

The document discusses converting between binary and decimal number systems. It explains how to convert a binary number to decimal by adding the place values of bits that are 1. It also explains how to convert a decimal number to binary by repeatedly dividing the number by 2 and recording the remainders as bits. This process yields the 8-bit binary equivalent. As an alternative method, it describes converting a decimal number to binary by trial and error, setting bits to try and reach the decimal value.

Converting denary numbers to binary

To find the equivalent 8-bit binary value, we carry out eight divisions by 2:
1 2 107
2 2 53 remainder 1

107
3 2 26 remainder 1
4 2 13 remainder 0
5 2 6 remainder 1
