The document discusses converting decimal numbers to binary. It explains that computers use binary codes to represent letters, numbers, and characters with bits that can have values of 1 or 0. It provides instructions for converting decimal numbers to binary by repeatedly dividing the number by 2 and recording the remainders from bottom to top to get the binary equivalent. Examples are given to practice conversions.

TEACHER III TLE FILM SHOWING OF MATRIX RELOAD FOR 3 MINUTES. WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE MOVIE THAT YOU WATCHED? WOULD YOU THINK THAT MOVIE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR LESSON? 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. HUMANS INTERPRET WORDS AND PICTURES; COMPUTERS INTERPRET ONLY PATTERNS OF BITS. 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 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. SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:
CONVERT THE DECIMAL NUMBERS SHOWN BELOW TO
BINARY. PERFORM CHECKING TO VERIFY YOUR ANSWERS. 1. 19 2. 28 3. 37
