Not sure this is the correct topics section but here goes.
What does this binary code mean and how do you work it out?
110111/101/1111010
1/100101/1100100010
Thank you.
If you're old enough to remember H T U (hundreds tens and units) it's just the same except instead of going up in powers of 10 it goes up in powers of 2 so the first 6 columns would be 32 16 8 4 2 1 (as zebo has said and yes he means 33)
Well-explained, Prudie. I found it easiest to draw columns labelling them from right to left, 1 2 4 etc. Underneath fill them in with a 0 or 1 then add up all the 'ones'.
You mention code rather than refer to base 2 numbers specifically. As code it only means what your computer processor interprets it to mean. And that's a whole new ball game.
I assume that the slashes you show are just being used to separate the binary numbers as I don't think you are likely to be suggesting a complex division 'sum' :-) Probably best to ignore the slashes then, perhaps replace by new lines ?
I suspect you can find plenty of binary exercises/tuition on the Net. Once mastered you can then search out info on ones' complement and twos' complement, and really dazzle your grandson ;-)
