binary, 11110111= ?

OpenStudy (christos):

it's signed

OpenStudy (christos):

the result has to be a decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in decimal it is 247

OpenStudy (christos):

it's signed bro

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

There are 10 types of people in this world, ones who know binary, others who don;t! ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir it is 247

OpenStudy (goformit100):

See http://numbermonk.com/binary/247/en

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup @shubhamsrg since 10 is 2 in decimal

OpenStudy (christos):

I dont want to convert it, I need to know the steps for it, and im not a "sir" :P

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

am glad you got it! -_-

OpenStudy (goformit100):

Yo Yo @shubhamsrg

OpenStudy (christos):

There are 10 types of people in this world, ones who know binary, others who don;t, rest 8 doesn't exist in this world

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1+2+4+16+32+64+128\] i think will do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is a zero in the 8th place

OpenStudy (christos):

:P But please show me the steps if you can I would be grateful

OpenStudy (goformit100):

I know Binary... Use it's knowledge in Computer @Christos

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

In my statement, 10 corresponded to 2 , (in base 2) -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

work from the right to the left

OpenStudy (christos):

That's why rest 8 dont exist :P

OpenStudy (christos):

ok satellite ill do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first invert it

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

we can talk about 8 if it was base 10 , but when its base 2, talking about 8 is baseless ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1s place 2s place 4s place 16s place 32s place 64s place 128s place

OpenStudy (christos):

Am I forced to invert it @modphysnoob ?

OpenStudy (christos):

I mean thats the only way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that's how you figure out negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to change 11110111 into decimal ryt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Christos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11110111 1 in the ones place 1 in the twos place 1 in the fours place 0 in the eights place 1 in the sixteens place 1 in the thirty twos place 1 in the sixty fours place 1 in the one hundred twenty eights place

OpenStudy (christos):

thanks modphy I figured it out thanks all for the contributions :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is signed , Can't you people read?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

invert then add one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

signed by what artist?

OpenStudy (christos):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11110111 (2) = 1*2^7+1*2^6+1*2^5+1*2^4+0*2^3+1*2^2+1*2^1+1*2^0

OpenStudy (christos):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or use Dibble Dobble method....It Will Easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 Bit signed number -3 1101 -2 1110 -1 1111 0 1 0001 2 0010 3 0011

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11110111 subtract one 11110110 invert 00001001 now use conversion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should give you -9

OpenStudy (christos):

yes indeed it gave me -9 I already had the solution I just needed the steps to reproduce it with other numbers

OpenStudy (christos):

=)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is just subtract one and then invert

OpenStudy (christos):

or invert and then add one right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think they both work , 1111 invert 0000 add one 0001 1111 subtract one 1110 invert 0001

OpenStudy (christos):

I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am assuming you are in computer architecture class ?

OpenStudy (christos):

Yea that's right :)

OpenStudy (christos):

if it's a sign positive number I don't need to do that stuff right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, singed positive number would have leading number =0

OpenStudy (christos):

ok
