  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    This is because the radix of the hexadecimal system (16) is a power of the radix of the binary system (2). More specifically, 16 = 2 4, so it takes four digits of binary to represent one digit of hexadecimal, as shown in the adjacent table. To convert a hexadecimal number into its binary equivalent, simply substitute the corresponding binary ...

  3. Binary integer decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Integer_Decimal

    A more efficient encoding can be designed using the fact that the exponent range is of the form 3×2 k, so the exponent never starts with 11. Using the Decimal32 encoding (with a significand of 3*2+1 decimal digits) as an example (e stands for exponent, m for mantissa, i.e. significand):

  4. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    2: 13: 8: 7: 6: 9: 4: 11: 10: 5 [37] ... since a conversion from or to binary representation can be expensive on such limited processors. For these applications, some ...

  5. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  6. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    The most significant digit is an exception to this: for an n-bit Gray code, the most significant digit follows the pattern 2 n-1 on, 2 n-1 off, which is the same (cyclic) sequence of values as for the second-most significant digit, but shifted forwards 2 n-2 places. The four-bit version of this is shown below:

  7. Binary prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    A binary prefix is a unit prefix that indicates a multiple of a unit of measurement by an integer power of two.The most commonly used binary prefixes are kibi (symbol Ki, meaning 2 10 = 1024), mebi (Mi, 2 20 = 1 048 576), and gibi (Gi, 2 30 = 1 073 741 824).

  8. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    In binary, the radix is two, since after it hits "1", instead of "2" or another written symbol, it jumps straight to "10", followed by "11" and "100". The highest symbol of a positional numeral system usually has the value one less than the value of the radix of that numeral system.

  9. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    A left arithmetic shift by n is equivalent to multiplying by 2 n (provided the value does not overflow), while a right arithmetic shift by n of a two's complement value is equivalent to taking the floor of division by 2 n. If the binary number is treated as ones' complement, then the same right-shift operation results in division by 2 n and ...
