 DIGITAL
REPRESENTATION
• Within a computer,
information is represented and
stored in a digital binary
format.
• The term bit is an abbreviation
of binary digit and represents
the smallest piece of data.
• A bit can have only two possible values,
a one digit (1) or a zero digit (0).
• A bit can be used to represent the state
of something that has two states.
• For example, a light switch can be
either On or Off; in binary
representation, these states would
correspond to 1 and 0, respectively.
• Computers use binary codes
to represent and interpret
letters, numbers and special
characters with bits.
• A commonly used code is the
American Standard Code for
Information Interchange
(ASCII). With ASCII, each
character is represented
by a string of bits.
With ASCII, each character is
represented by a string of
bits.

For example:
Capital letter: A = 01000001
Number: 9 = 00001001
Special character: # =
00100011
Each group of eight bits, such as the
representations of letters and numbers,
is known as a byte.
8 bits= 1 byte
Codes can be used to represent almost
any type of information digitally:
computer data, graphics, photos, voice,
video , and music.
CONVERT DECIMAL NUMBERS TO BINARY
To convert a decimal number to binary, all you have
to do is divide the number by 2.
• Get the quotient and the remainder.
• Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, and get
the quotient and remainder again.
• Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0.
• Copy the remainder from bottom to top, and that
is the binary equivalent.
Example: 25
Quotient Remainder
25/2 12 1
12/2 6 0
6/2 3 0
3/2 1 1
1/2 0 1
25 = 11001
Checking: 1 1 0 0 1 multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 equivalents
16 8 0 0 1 results
16+8+1 = 25
Checking: 25 = 1 1 0 0 1

1 1 0 0 1 multiplier
16 8 4 2 1 equivalents
16 8 0 0 1 results

16+ 8+1 = 25
