SOLUTION OF ASSESSMENT 26/09/2024

1. What is the binary equivalent of decimal number 363? Convert to octal and
then to binary?

Decimal to Octal:


o Divide 365 by 8 repeatedly until the quotient becomes 0:
 363 ÷ 8 = 45 (remainder 5)
 45 ÷ 8 = 5 (remainder 5)
 5 ÷ 8 = 0 (remainder 5)
o Read the remainders from bottom to top: 555 (octal)

Octal to Binary:

o Convert each octal digit to its 3-bit binary equivalent:


 5 = 101
 5 = 101
 5 = 101
o Combine the binary equivalents: 101101101 (binary)

2. What is the largest number that can be represented using 8 bits?

 The largest 8-bit binary number is 11111111, which represents 255 in decimal.

3. What is the decimal equivalent of 1101.011(2)?

 Break the number into integer and fractional parts:


o Integer part: 1101 = 13 (decimal)
o Fractional part: .011 = 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8 = 0.375 (decimal)
 Combine the integer and fractional parts: 13.375 (decimal)

4. What is the next binary number following 10111(2) in the counting sequence?

 Add 1 to the least significant bit (LSB): 10111 + 1 = 11000 (binary)

5. What is the weight of the MSB of a 16-Bit number?

 The MSB of a 16-bit number has a weight of 2^15 = 32768.

6. Solve for x in the following equation: 2C6B.F2(16) = x(2)?

 Convert the hexadecimal number to binary:

o 2C6B.F2 = 0010 1100 0110 1011 . 1111 0010 (binary)


 Count the binary digits: 16 digits
 Therefore, x = 2^16 = 65536

7. Give the next three numbers in each of the following hexadecimal sequences:

(a) 4A5, 4A6, 4A7, 4A8,……,…….,…….

 4A9, 4AA, 4AB

(b) B998, B999, ………,………,…....

 B99A, B99B, B99C

8. Find the octal and hexadecimal equivalent of (40)10

 Decimal to Octal:

o 40 ÷ 8 = 5 (remainder 0)
o 5 ÷ 8 = 0 (remainder 5)
o Octal equivalent: 50

 Decimal to Hexadecimal:

o 40 ÷ 16 = 2 (remainder 8)
o 2 ÷ 16 = 0 (remainder 2)
o Hexadecimal equivalent: 28

9. Define:

(a) bit

 A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data in computing, representing a value of either 0
or 1.

(b) nibble

 A nibble is a group of 4 bits, representing a value between 0 and 15 (in decimal).
