How to Calculate with Binary Numbers
- Addition: Add each column, carry over when the sum is 2 or more.
- Subtraction: Use borrowing, similar to decimal subtraction.
- Multiplication: Multiply as in decimal, but only with 0 or 1.
- Division: Use repeated subtraction or long division in binary.
Example: 1011 + 110 = 10001 (11 + 6 = 17 in decimal, 10001 in binary)
How to Build Skills with Binary Calculations
- Practice with Examples: Try adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing different binary numbers to get comfortable with the process.
- Check Your Work: Convert binary results to decimal to verify accuracy.
- Understand Carrying and Borrowing: Learn how carrying (in addition) and borrowing (in subtraction) work in binary, as they are similar to decimal but only use 0 and 1.
- Apply to Real Problems: Use binary math for programming, digital electronics, or understanding how computers process data.
- Use Visual Aids: Draw out columns or use tables to keep track of carries and borrows.
Example: To multiply 101 (5 in decimal) by 11 (3 in decimal):
101 × 11 = 1111 (5 × 3 = 15 in decimal, 1111 in binary)
