Lab 6 Post

I found that the binary number of 110010101 is equal to 810 in decimal. I did this just by following the lecture slides. I used the Binary Arithmetic rules. These are just simple addition rules used to convert binary to decimal. For the second question, i found that the decimal number 529 is equal to 1000010001. I found this just by following the process of finding the quotient and then remainder. This week, i also learned a lot about positional and the non-positional number system. The positional system is means the value of each digit is determined by its position. Non-positional means the value is not affected by its position.
