Binary number measures, in which a fraction of a hekat is expressed as a sum of the binary fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64. Early forms of this system can be found in documents from the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt, approximately 2400 BC, and its fully developed hieroglyphic form dates to the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, approximately 1200 BC. The method used for ancient Egyptian multiplication is also closely related to binary numbers. In this method, multiplying one number by a second is performed by a sequence of steps in which a value (initially the first of the two numbers)
Binary number only two possible outcomes of each partial multiplication: For example, the binary numbers 1011 and 1010 are multiplied as follows: Binary numbers can also be multiplied with bits after a binary point: See also Booth's multiplication algorithm. The binary multiplication table is the same as the truth table of the logical conjunction operation formula_6. Long division in binary is again similar to its decimal counterpart. In the example below, the divisor is 101, or 5 decimal, while the dividend is 11011, or 27 decimal. The procedure is the same as that of decimal long division; here, the divisor 101 goes
