Binary number double the number to be converted, record if the result is at least 1, and then throw away the integer part. For example, formula_10, in binary, is: Thus the repeating decimal fraction 0... is equivalent to the repeating binary fraction 0... . Or for example, 0.1, in binary, is: This is also a repeating binary fraction 0.0... . It may come as a surprise that terminating decimal fractions can have repeating expansions in binary. It is for this reason that many are surprised to discover that 0.1 + ... + 0.1, (10 additions) differs from 1 in floating point arithmetic.
Binary number binary digits to represent an octal digit). The correspondence between octal and binary numerals is the same as for the first eight digits of hexadecimal in the table above. Binary 000 is equivalent to the octal digit 0, binary 111 is equivalent to octal 7, and so forth. Converting from octal to binary proceeds in the same fashion as it does for hexadecimal: And from binary to octal: And from octal to decimal: Non-integers can be represented by using negative powers, which are set off from the other digits by means of a radix point (called a decimal point in
