Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

To convert a binary number to decimal, you simply sum the values of the bits that are set to 1. The place values for binary are powers of 2. For example: ...

Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that most of us have an innate faith that we understand the concepts behind BCD (binary coded decimal), but that in reality the majority of us ...

While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

Abstract: The binary coded decimal (BCD) encoding has always dominated the decimal arithmetic algorithms and their hardware implementation. Due to importance of decimal arithmetic, the decimal format ...

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

You can use the built-in Calculator in Windows to carry out Decimal to Binary conversions. The Windows Calculator file is a UWP app and to open it, type calc in the Start Search bar, and hit Enter. At ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a performance comparison of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) Adders on Field Programmable Gate Logic (FPGA) for functional and behavioural verification. Although it does ...

Analog and LCD watches are both useful designs, but ultimately are mainstream timepieces. Using a binary watch is an easy way to set one’s self apart as a tech enthusiast, while impressing your hacker ...
