 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.

• 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 Interchange
(ASCII). With ASCII, each character is
represented by a string of bits.
• example:
Capital letter: A = 01000001
Number: 9 = 00001001
Special character: # = 00100011
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.
 Example: 25
• Quotient Remainder
• 25/2 12 1
• 12/2 6 0
• 6/2 3 0
• 3/2 1 1
• 1/2 0 1
• 25 = 11001
 Checking:
• 1 1 0 0 1 multiplier
0x2+1 = 1
1x2+1 = 3
3x2+0 = 6
6x2+0 = 12
12x2+1 = 25

 CALCULATING DATA STORAGE
• While a bit is the smallest representation of
data, the most basic unit of digital storage is
the byte. A byte is 8 bits and is the smallest
unit of measure (UOM) used to represent data
storage capacity.
• When referring to storage space, we use the
terms bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes
(MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

• Standard 1024 B
 Example KB - MB
• 1 how many MB are there in 2048KB?

MB = KB/1024
2048KB/1024
MB= 2MB
• how many MB are there in 1048KB

MB = KB/1024
= 1048KB / 1024
MB = 1.023
• how many MB are there in 6048KB

MB = KB/1024
6048KB / 1024
MB = 5.9MB
 Example GB - MB
• How many GB are there in 4096MB?

GB = MB/1024
= 4096 / 1024
= 4 GB
 Example GB - MB
• How many GB are there in 5120MB?

GB = MB / 1024
= 5120MB / 1024
= 5 GB
 Example GB - MB
• How many GB are there in 9126 MB?

GB = MB /1024
9126 / 1024
= 9 GB
 Example of KB, MB , GB
• How many GB are there in 20,000KB

GB = KB / (1024 x 1024)
= 20,000 / ( 1024 x 1024)
= 0.019 GB
• How many GB are there in 51,000 KB

GB = KB / (1024 x 1024)
= 51,000 / (1024 x 1024)
= 0.048 GB
 Convert 5MB to KB
• KB = MB X 1024
= 5MB x 1024
= 5120 KB
 Convert 45MB to KB
• KB = MB x 1024
45 MB x 1024
= 46,080 KB
 Convert 3.5GB to MB
• MB = GB x 1024
= 3.5GB x 1024
= 3,584 MB
 Convert 10GB to MB
• MB = GB x 1024
= 10GB x 1024
= 10,240 MB
 KB, MB and GB
• Convert 3.5 GB to KB

KB = GB x ( 1024x1024)
= 3.5 x (1024 x1024)
= 3,670,016 KB
 Convert 10 GB to KB

• KB = GB x (1024x1024)
10 GB x (1024 x 1024)
= 10,485,760 KB
