Question

Can someone please explain binary addition to me? i have a test tomorrow yikes

Answer 1

Answer:

its easy

Explanation:

there are are 5 main rules

in binary there are 2 number 0 and 1

0 + 0 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

1+0=1

1+1=0 carry 1

e . g

1 1 1

1 0 1 0 1 0

+ 1 1 0 0 1 0

-------------------------

1 1 1 1 1 0 0

*in bold are the ones that you need to carry.

in decimal there are 10 possible numbers 0- 9

when you do 1 + 9 it becomes 10, this can be done easily, however if you do 1 + 9 in a table like above, you will get 0 for the first column and you will carry 1 to the next column .

in binary is the same idea but using on 2 numbers 1 and 0

e.g

1

1

+ 9

----------

1 0

*in bold are the ones that you need to carry.

hope it helps and good luck in your exam.
