TD N°1 : Exercises on numbering systems

Conversions

Exercise 1: Decimal to binary

Convert the following numbers into binary (base 2), giving details of
the calculations:
(12)10, (99)10, (421)10, (354)10, (436)10, (1256)10.

Exercise 2: Binary to decimal

Convert the following numbers to decimal (base 10):

(1001)2, (11101)2, (1101110)2.

Exercise 3: Decimal to hexadecimal

Convert the following numbers to hexadecimal (base 16):

(12)10, (125)10, (3247)10.

Exercise 4: Hexadecimal to decimal

Convert the following numbers to decimal (base 10):

(5BC)16, (FFF)16, (6AF)16.

Operations

Exercise 5: Addition

Add these binary numbers and give the result in base 2.

 1100 + 1000
 1001 + 1010
 11001111 + 11100110

 How can the result be checked by doing the calculation in another
way?

Exercise 6: Subtractions

Same questions with subtractions:

 1010 - 011
 1110 0110 - 1100 1010

Exercise 7: Multiplication

Same questions with multiplication:

 11 1010 × 110
 10011 × 0110

Exercise 8: Divisions

Same questions with whole divisions:

 1111 0101 ÷ 1101

 100 1000 0111 ÷ 1011

Then giving four digits after the decimal point:

 1 ÷ 10
 1 ÷ 11
 1 ÷ 1010

Exercise 9: Shifts
Take a number between 100 and 250 and write its representation in
binary.
Multiply this number by two, and write the representation of the
double in binary.
What do you notice?
