In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

Binary arithmetic, the basis of all virtually digital computation today, is usually said to have been invented at the start of the eighteenth century by the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz. But ...

The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests. The ...

The following table shows the decimal values of binary numbers. Just as the largest value in a decimal number is all 9's, the largest value in a group of binary digits is all 1's. A decimal digit ...

A binary code is the language of computers and digital systems. It uses a two-symbol system (0 and 1) to represent text, instruction, or other data. However, humans can’t understand binary code by ...

I made this Arduino 8 bit binary led counter as a solution for one member from Arduino forum. He asked if somebody can make a project that displays a decimal number in 8 bit binary format using 8 leds ...

You are debugging your microcontroller code. Your design should blink an LED after a counter has counted down 102 times. When the inital value of the counter is 10110011 it doesn’t seem to blink. What ...
