  2. Binary integer decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Integer_Decimal

    In the decimal encoding, it is encoded as a series of p decimal digits (using the densely packed decimal (DPD) encoding). This makes conversion to decimal form efficient, but requires a specialized decimal ALU to process. In the binary integer decimal (BID) encoding, it is encoded as a binary number.

  3. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    To convert a hexadecimal number into its binary equivalent, simply substitute the corresponding binary digits: 3A 16 = 0011 1010 2 E7 16 = 1110 0111 2. To convert a binary number into its hexadecimal equivalent, divide it into groups of four bits. If the number of bits isn't a multiple of four, simply insert extra 0 bits at the left (called ...

  4. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time. In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight.

  5. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    Computer engineers often need to write out binary quantities, but in practice writing out a binary number such as 1001001101010001 is tedious and prone to errors. Therefore, binary quantities are written in a base-8, or "octal", or, much more commonly, a base-16, "hexadecimal" (hex), number format. In the decimal system, there are 10 digits, 0 ...

  6. Octal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

    The binary digits are grouped by threes, starting from the least significant bit and proceeding to the left and to the right. Add leading zeroes (or trailing zeroes to the right of decimal point) to fill out the last group of three if necessary. Then replace each trio with the equivalent octal digit. For instance, convert binary 1010111100 to ...

  7. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    For example, to calculate the decimal number −6 in binary from the number 6: Step 1: +6 in decimal is 0110 in binary; the leftmost significant bit (the first 0) is the sign (just 110 in binary would be -2 in decimal). Step 2: flip all bits in 0110, giving 1001. Step 3: add the place value 1 to the flipped number 1001, giving 1010.

  8. IEEE 754 - Wikipedia

    The original binary value will be preserved by converting to decimal and back again using: [58] 5 decimal digits for binary16, 9 decimal digits for binary32, 17 decimal digits for binary64, 36 decimal digits for binary128. For other binary formats, the required number of decimal digits is [h]

  9. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    Binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a binary encoded representation of integer values that uses a 4-bit nibble to encode decimal digits. Four binary bits can encode up to 16 distinct values; but, in BCD-encoded numbers, only ten values in each nibble are legal, and encode the decimal digits zero, through nine.
