Binary Addition
Binary addition is being able to add two numbers together which are represented in binary form, which consist of 1s and 0s, you can add them together by converting them into denary, adding It together and then converting it back but its much faster to use the column addition method which you will see below.
There are four possibilities when adding binary numbers, these possibilities are:
a total of 0 (0+0) put down 0 a total of 1 (1+0, 0+1 or 0+0+carried 1) put down 1 a total of 2 (1+1) put down 0, carry 1 a total of 3 (1+1+ carried 1) put down 1, carry 1
For example, solve 6+7 using binary addition:
First convert 6 and 7 from denary to binary using your preferred method
6 = 4+2+0 = 110 7 = 4+2+1 = 111
Then add them keeping in mind the 4 possibilities and add each digit together, starting on the right:
110 + 111
So:
0+1 = 1
1+1 = 0 carry 1
1+1+ carried 1 = 1 carry 1
1 + 0 = 1
so 110+111 = 1101. Converting this number back to denary gives us an answer of 13.
Another Example
Adding More Numbers Together
You could get 3 numbers to add however you wont be given a situation in which there are more than a total of 3.
For example:
101
101
011+
Which would = 1101
Adding Binary Numbers Into Denary
Add the two binary numbers together using 8-bit binary addition, then convert your binary answer into denary. Remember that questions on this should clearly show BINARY working out (ie Binary Addition).
Example
01010110 + 11011001, Give your answer in denary.
Firstly, do 8-bit binary addition.
so:
01010110 + 01011001
= 10101111
Then convert 10101111 into denary:
so:
10101111 = 175
