Finger binary Finger binary Finger binary is a system for counting and displaying binary numbers on the fingers of one or more hands. It is possible to count from 0 to 31 (2−1) using the fingers of a single hand, or from 0 through 1023 (2−1) if both hands are used. In the binary number system, each numerical digit has two possible states (0 or 1) and each successive digit represents an increasing power of two. Note: What follows is but one of several possible schemes for assigning the values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. to fingers, not necessarily the best.
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
