Binary Notation/Examples/68

Example of Binary Notation

The number written in decimal notation as $68$ is expressed in binary notation as $1000100_2$.


Proof

\(\ds 68\) \(=\) \(\ds 1 \times 2^6 + 0 \times 2^5 + 0 \times 2^4 + 0 \times 2^3 + 1 \times 2^2 + 0 \times 2^1 + 0 \times 2^0\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 64 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 1000100_2\)

$\blacksquare$
