  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    Conversion of (357) 10 to binary notation results in (101100101) To convert from a base-10 integer to its base-2 (binary) equivalent, the number is divided by two. The remainder is the least-significant bit. The quotient is again divided by two; its remainder becomes the next least significant bit.

  3. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: Changing numeral bases , such as converting from base 2 ( binary ) to base 10 ( decimal ). This is known as base conversion .

  4. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    Here we can show how to convert a base-10 real number into an IEEE 754 binary32 format using the following outline: Consider a real number with an integer and a fraction part such as 12.375; Convert and normalize the integer part into binary; Convert the fraction part using the following technique as shown here

  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. Non-integer base of numeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration

    Base √ 2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base √ 2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit; for example, 1911 10 = 11101110111 2 becomes 101010001010100010101 √ 2 and 5118 10 = 1001111111110 2 becomes 1000001010101010101010100 √ 2.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Negative base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_base

    Some numbers have the same representation in base −r as in base r. For example, the numbers from 100 to 109 have the same representations in decimal and negadecimal. Similarly, = + = + and is represented by 10001 in binary and 10001 in negabinary. Some numbers with their expansions in a number of positive and corresponding negative bases are:

  9. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    One way to increment a Gray code number is to convert it into ordinary binary code, [55] add one to it with a standard binary adder, and then convert the result back to Gray code. [56] Other methods of counting in Gray code are discussed in a report by Robert W. Doran , including taking the output from the first latches of the master-slave flip ...
