Hey there, future digital explorer! This quiz is all about how computers store information, like numbers, pictures, and sounds. It's like learning their secret language!
Understanding this helps you see how everything works in your games and apps. Let's learn to talk 'computer' together!
Example: Convert the denary (our normal number) 5 to its binary equivalent.
Walkthrough:
We use a simple trick: keep dividing by 2 and write down the leftover number (remainder).
5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1
(This is our first binary number, from the right!)
2 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1
(Stop when the number becomes 0)
Now, read the remainders upwards: 101
. So, 5 in denary is 101 in binary!
