    The document discusses converting decimal numbers to binary-coded decimal (BCD) representation. It explains that BCD can only represent numbers from 0-9 using 4 bits. It demonstrates converting 10, 16, and 20 to BCD by padding the binary values with zeros, splitting into 4-bit groups, and adding with 6 to handle carries between groups.

    The basic algorithm is split the value into 4 bits each and add by 6

    see now you can do this when the value is above 9 , because in BCD you
    can represent from 0-9 only.

    I pad zeros before msb to make it look like 4 bits

    Converting 10 to BCD

    Binary of 10 -- 1 0 1 0
    6 -- 0 1 1 0
    ------------
    0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 // the carry is padded with “0”.

    1 0

    Converting 16 to BCD

    Binary of 16 -- 1 0 0 0 0

    pad it with zero -- 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0

    split above bits into 4 bits each.

    0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
    + 0 1 1 0
    ---------
    0 1 1 0
    now
    0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 // NO carry generated

    1 6

    Converting 20 to BCD

    Binary of 20 -- 1 0 1 0 0

    pad it with zero -- 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0

    split above bits into 4 bits each.

    0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
    +0 1 1 0
    ---------
    1 0 1 0 -> the ans is above 9 again add it with 6
    +0 1 1 0
    ---------
    0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 // Carry is added with the Spilt MSB
    +0 0 0 1
    ------------
    0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

    2 0
