Binary Addition
#binary #addition
The binary system is a numerical system that functions virtually identically to the decimal number system that people are likely more familiar with. While the decimal number system uses the number 10 as its base, the binary system uses 2. Furthermore, although the decimal system uses the digits 0 through 9, the binary system uses only 0 and 1, and each digit is referred to as a bit. Apart from these differences, operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are all computed following the same rules as the decimal system.
Most of the functionalities of the computer system use the binary number system. The binary code uses the digits 1’s and 0’s to make certain processes turn off or on.
The binary addition operation works similarly to the base 10 decimal system. The process of the addition operation is very familiar to the decimal system by adjusting to the base 2.
Rules of Binary Addition:
Using the following rules, any binary number can be easily added. The four rules of binary addition are:
0 + 0 = 0
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 =1, carry 0
