DAVJ277 1.2.4

J277 GCSE CS 1.2.4 a) Binary, denary and hexadecimal

QuestionAnswer
Convert denary numbers 0 - 255 into 8 bit numbers Convert 8 bit numbers into 0 - 255 denary numbers Use a number line 12864 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 = 54 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 = 142 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 255
Add two 8 bit numbers Use a number line and show carry - left to right 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+1=0 carry 1, 1+1+1=1 carry 1 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 54 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 142 + 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 = 196
Explain Overflow When there are insufficient bits reserved to store the result of a calculation. Leads to inconsistent result.
What is a Binary shift 1 place Left shift multiplies by 2. 1 place Right shift divides by 2.
What arithmetic operation is a 3 place left shift equivalent to? Multiplying by 8 (1 place left shift multiplies by 2) (2 places left shift multiplies by 4) (3 places left shift multiplies by 8) 2 to the power of the number of places
What would the binary and denary equivalent of a one place left shift on 00110011 be? The binary would be 0110011 0 Denary is 64+32+4+2 = 102
What would the binary and denary equivalent of a two place right shift on 00110011 be? What do you notice about the result? The binary would be 00001100 Denary is 8+4 = 12 Accuracy is lost as 2 bits have been lost
Identify the least significant bit and the most significant bit: 10101101 The most significant is the bit on the far left (in the largest place value). The least significant bit is the bit on the far right (in the smallest (unit) place value).
Convert denary number 0 to 255 into hexadecimal—convert 165 to hexadecimal Divide by 16 for 1st digit remainder is 2nd. First digit is the DIV, second is the MOD Eg. 165 as hex 165/16 = 10 remainder. 6 = A6 0-9, A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15
Convert 2 digit hexadecimal into denary—What is A5 in denary? 2 digit hex number: 1st column = number of 16s 2nd column = number of Units EXAMPLE 1: A5 hexadecimal = (10 x 16) + (5 x 1) = 160 + 5 = 165 denary EXAMPLE 2: 15 hexadecimal = (1 x 16) + (5 x 1) = 16 + 5 = 21 denary
Convert 2 digit hexadecimal into binary—what is A7 in binary? convert each digit to 4 bit binary then put numbers together. A7 in binary A = 10 in denary = 1001 in 4 bit binary 7 = 0111 in 4 bit binary A7 = 10010111
Convert 8 bit binary to hexadecimal Eg. 10010001 Split into 2 nibbles so 10010001 becomes 1001 0001 1001 = 9 0001 = 1 Answer in hex =91

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
