 Motivation

Learning Objectives
1.Understand how and why computers use binary to represent all forms of data
2 (a). Understand the denary, binary and hexadecimal number systems
2 (b). Convert between:
(i) positive denary and positive binary
(ii) positive denary and positive hexadecimal
(iii) positive hexadecimal and positive binary
 Motivation

Why Binary System

• Any form of information needs to be converted into a binary format so that it can be processed by
a computer
• Computer contains millions and millions of tiny switches, which can be turned on and off.
• Therefore, the binary system is chosen as the way for a computer to represent any sort of data.

Explanation: Multiply the digit value (eg.3) by the place value (eg. 100)

(3x100) + (6x10) + (5x1) = 365
