Introduction
Unsigned binary numbers are a way of representing non-negative numbers in binary form. In unsigned binary numbers, all bits are used to represent the magnitude of the number in binary form, and there is no sign bit.
Characteristics:
- Unsigned binary numbers have no sign bit.
- All bits are used to represent the magnitude of the number in binary form.
- The range of unsigned binary numbers is from 0 to (2^n)-1, where n is the number of bits in the binary representation.
Formation:
To construct an unsigned binary number, you simply convert the magnitude of the number to binary form and place it in the desired number of bits. There is no need for a sign bit in unsigned binary numbers.
Working:
Unsigned binary numbers in computer systems and digital circuits represent non-negative numbers. All bits are used to represent the magnitude of the number in binary form.
Procedure:
- Determine the number of bits required to represent the magnitude of the number.
- Convert the magnitude of the number to binary form and place it in the desired number of bits.
Rules:
- There is no sign bit in unsigned binary numbers.
- All bits represent the magnitude of the number in binary form.
- The range of unsigned binary numbers is from 0 to (2^n)-1, where n is the number of bits in the binary representation.
Mathematical Formula:
To convert an unsigned binary number to decimal, you can use the formula:
d = (dn-1 * 2^(n-1)) + (dn-2 * 2^(n-2)) + … + (d1 * 2^1) + (d0 * 2^0)
where d is the decimal equivalent, and dn-1 to d0 are the bits representing the magnitude of the number.
To convert a decimal number to an unsigned binary number, you can use the following steps:
- Determine the number of bits required to represent the magnitude of the number.
- Convert the magnitude of the number to binary form and place it in the desired number of bits.
