Randy Michael NT 1210 Lab 1.1 Professor Chibuzo Onukwufor 4/1/15 Lab 1.1 1: Convert the decimal value 127 to binary. Explain the process of conversion that you used. Decimal Number | Binary Number | Remainder | 127 - | 64 | 63 | 63 - | 32 | 31 | 31 - | 16 | 15 | 15 - | 8 | 7 | 7 - | 4 | 3 | 3 - | 2 | 1 | 1 - | 1 | 0 | Binary | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | Decimal | 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 | Conversion | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | I took the decimal and divided it by two giving 1 for the remainders and 0 if it did not have a remainder. 2: Explain why the values 102 and 00102 are equivalent. They are equivalent because they represent the powers of 10 3: Based on the breakdown of the decimal and binary systems in this lab, describe the available digit values and the first four digits of a base 5 numbering system. You can use the binary system as a reference, where the available digit values are 0 and 1 and the first four digits are 1, 2, 4, and 8. The digit values in a base numbering system are 1s and 0s. You are using 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 instead of 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. 4: Using the Internet and the Help files in Excel, explain why creating a converter from decimal to binary would be more difficult to construct. Hint: you should consider the conditional evaluation of whether the decimal value remaining is larger than the binary digit value. It is difficult because you have to enter in multiple equations to get the right answer.
