How many binary digits would be required for this hexadecimal
code and what is the 8 bit binary equivalent:

Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) uses 4 bit binary to represent
decimal digits 0 – 9.
You simply split
example, decimal
7 =
8 4
0 1
the digits and treat the separately. For
75 in BCD is as follows:
5 =
2 1
8 4 2 1
1 1
0 1 0 1
Therefore 75 in BCD becomes:
01110101
Now convert the following denary into BCD:
a) 39
b) 58
c) 97

Binary Arithmetic
Another reason why computers are designed to use binary is that
addition is so simple in binary. In binary there are only 4 sums
which need to be known:

+ 01110001
b) 01111000
+ 00110011
Sign & Magnitude
So far we have learned how to store positive whole numbers in
binary but there is a need to use negative numbers and
fractions.
You will remember that only 7 bits is need to represent the
ASCII character set (127 characters) and this is the purpose of
the 8th bit, to represent a +/For example:
+/- 64 32 16
+75 = 0 1 0 0

This is called sign/magnitude representation – the byte is in 2
parts, the sign (+/-) and the size of the number.

2s Complement
There are 2 problems with sign & magnitude representation.
Firstly, the biggest number that can be represented is now
halved – 127 instead of 255. Secondly, arithmetic now made more
complicated as different bits means different things.
A solution to this is using a system called 2s complement – the
last bit stands for -128. So the diagram looks like this:
-128 64 32 16
8
4
2
1
So -75 in 2s complement is:
-128 64 32 16
-75 =
1 0 1 1

Subtraction in binary
Now using 2s complement subtraction is easier because 75 – 14 is
the same as 75 + (-14)
-128
