1.1 List the octal and hexadecimal numbers from 16 to 32. Using A and B for
the last two digits, list the numbers from 8 to 28 in base 12.

21 22 23 24

1.2 What is the exact number of bytes in a system that contains (a) 32K
bytes, (b) 64M bytes, and (c) 6.4G bytes?

Answer:

(a) 32 * 210 = 32768 bytes

(b) 64 * 220 = 67108864 bytes
(c) 6.4 * 230 = 6871947674 bytes

1.3 Convert the following numbers with the indicated bases to decimal:
(a) (4310) 5 (b) (198) 12
(c) (435) 8 (d) (345) 6

Answer:

(a) 4 * 53 + 3 * 52 + 1 * 51 + 0 * 50 = (580)10
(b) 1* 122 + 9 * 121 + 8 * 120 = (260)10
(c) 4 * 82 + 3 * 81 + 5 * 80 = (285)10
(d) 3 * 62 + 4 * 61 + 5 * 60 = (137)10

1.4 What is the largest binary number that can be expressed with 16 bits?
What are the equivalent decimal and hexadecimal numbers?

Answer:

The largest number of any k-digits binary number is that with all digits
being 1, such that the largest number of 16-digit binary number is
(1111 1111 1111 1111)2 = (65535)10 = (FFFF)16

To calculate the largest number of k bits we can simply use the formula
2k -1

In this question 216 -1 = 65536-1=65535

1.5 Determine the base of the numbers in each case for the following
operations to be correct:
(a) 14/2 = 5 (b) 54/4 = 13 (c) 24 + 17 = 40.

Answer:

(a) (1 * b1 + 4 * b0 1) / 2 * b0 1 = 5 * b0 1
(b + 4) / 2 = 5
b/2 + 4/2 = 5 b=6
(b) (5 * b1 + 4 * b0 1) / 4 * b0 1 = 1 * b1 + 3 * b0 1
(5b + 4) / 4 = 1b + 3
5b/4 + 4/4 = 1b + 3 b=8
(c) (2 *b + 4) + (b + 7) = 4b b = 11

1.6 The solutions to the quadratic equation x2 - 11x + 22 = 0 are x = 3 and x

= 6. What is the base of the numbers?

Answer:

Notice that the solutions to the equation x2 - 11x + 22 in decimal system

are 8.37 and 2.62, which means that this equation is in another system,
we are asked to get the base of it.

(x – 3) (x - 6) = x2 – 9x + 18

(x2 - 11x + 22)b = (x2 – 9x + 18)10

(11)b = (9)10

(1 * b1 + 1 * b0 1) = 9

b=8

1.7 Convert the hexadecimal number 64CD to binary, and then convert it
from binary to octal.

Answer:

(64CD)16 = (0110 0100 1100 1101)2

(110 010011 001 101)2 = (62315)8

1.8 Convert the decimal number 431 to binary in two ways: (a) convert
directly to binary; (b) convert first to hexadecimal and then from
hexadecimal to binary. Which method is faster?
Answer:
Integer Remainder
(a)

(b) Integer Remainder

431/16 431 = (1AF)16 = (110101111)2

26 F
1 A
0 1

The second method is faster than the first one.

1.9 Convert Express the following numbers in decimal:

(a) (10110.0101) 2 (b) (16.5) 16
(c) (26.24) 8

Answer:

(a) (10110.0101) 2 = 1 * 24 + 0 * 23 + 1 * 22 + 1 * 21 + 0 * 20 + 0 * 2-1

+ 1 * 2-2 + 0 * 2-3 + 1 * 2-4 = 22.3125
(b) (16.5) 16 = 1 * 161 + 6 * 160 + 5 * 16-1 = 22.3125
(c) (26.24) 8 = 2 * 81 + 6 * 80 + 2 * 8-1 + 4 * 8-2 = 22.3125

1.10 Convert the following binary numbers to hexadecimal and to decimal:

(a) 1.10010, (b) 110.010. Explain why the decimal answer in (b) is 4
times that in (a).

Answer:

(a) 1.100102 = 0001.10012 = 1.916 = 1 + 9/16 = 1.56310

(b) 110.0102 = 0110.01002 = 6.416 = 6 + 4/16 = 6.2510

Reason: 110.0102 is the same as 1.100102 shifted to the left by two places.

1.17 Perform subtraction on the given unsigned numbers using the 10’s
complement of the subtrahend. Where the result should be negative,
find its 10’s complement and affix a minus sign. Verify your answers.
(a) 4,637 - 2,579 (b) 125 - 1,800

Answer:

a) 10’s complement of 2579 = 9999 - 2579 + 1 = 7421

4637 + 7421 = 12058 here, the result should be positive; we discard
the 1.
result = + 2058
b) 10’s complement of 1800 = 8200

125 + 8200 = 8325 here, the result should be negative; we find its
10’s complement and affix a minus sign.
result= - 1675

1.18 Perform subtraction on the given unsigned binary numbers using the
2’s complement of the subtrahend. Where the result should be negative,
find its 2’s complement and affix a minus sign.
(a) 10011 – 10010 (b) 100010 – 100110

Answer:

a) 10011 + 01110 = 100001

Result = + 00001, as we discard 1
b) 100010 + 011010 = 111100
Result= - 000100, as the result should be negative.
