Decimal Number Representation• Example: 90134 (base-10, used by Homo

Sapien)= 90000 + 0 + 100 + 30 + 4= 9*104 + 0*103 + 1*102 + 3*101 + 4*100

• How did we get it?

Generic Number Representation

• 90134 = 9*104 + 0*103 + 1*102 + 3*101 + 4*100

• A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 for base-10 (or radix-10)= A4*104 + A3*103 + A2*102 + A1*101 + A0*100

(A is coefficient; b is base)

• Generalize for a given number N N w/ base-bbNN = An-1 An-2 … A1 A0

NN = An-1*bn-1 + An-2*bn-2 + … + A2*b2 + A0*b0

**Note that A < b**Note that A < b

Base 16

• (982)10 = (3d6)16

• (3d6)16 can be written as (0011 1101 0110)2

• We use Base-16 (or Hex) a lot in computer world– Ex: A 32-bit address can be written as 0xfe8a7d20 0xfe8a7d20 ((0x 0x is an abbreviation of Hex))

– Or in binary form Or in binary form 1111_1110_1000_1010_0111_1101_0010_0000 1111_1110_1000_1010_0111_1101_0010_0000

• Hexadecimal (base-16)– (3d6)16

• Others examples: – base-9 = (1321)9

– base-11 = (813)11

– base-17 = (36d)17

Convert between different bases• Convert a number base-x to base-y, e.g. (0100111)2 to

(?)6

– First, convert from base-x to base-10 if x 10– Then convert from base-10 to base-y

0100111 = 026 + 125 + 024 + 023 + 122 + 121 + 120 = 39

Negative Number Representation

• Options– Sign-magnitude– One’s Complement– Two’s Complement (we use this in this

course)

1717

Sign-magnitude• Use the most significant bit

(MSB) to indicate the sign– 00: positive, 11: negative

• Problem– Representing zeros?– Do not work in computation

• We will NOT use it in this course !

One’s Complement• Complement (flip) each bit

in a binary number • Problem

– Representing zeros?– Do not always work in

computation• Ex: 111 + 001 = 000

Application of Two’s Complement

• The first Pocket CalculatorPocket Calculator “Curta” used Two’s complement method for subtractionsubtraction

• First complement the subtrahend – Fill the left digits to be the same

length of the minuend– Complemented number = (9 – digit)

• 4’s complement = 5• 7’s complement = 2• 0’s complement = 9

• Add 1 to the complemented number

• Perform an addition with the minuend

2727

Examples• 13 – 7

– Two’s complement of 07 = 92 + 1 = 93– 13 + 93 = 06 (ignore the leftmost carry digit)

• 817 – 123– Two’s complement of 123 = 876 + 1 = 877– 817 + 877 = 694 (ignore the leftmost carry

digit)

• 78291 – 4982– Two’s complement of 04982 = 95017 + 1 =

95018– 78291 + 95018 = 73309 (ignore the leftmost

carry digit)
