Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...

While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.

In the first column of this series, I introduced the concepts underlying BCD (binary-coded-decimal) representations. In my second column I discussed how we go about adding and subtracting unsigned BCD ...

HERE’S A C/C++ PROGRAM that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and binary coded decimal (BCD) formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and ...

You can use the built-in Calculator in Windows to carry out Decimal to Binary conversions. The Windows Calculator file is a UWP app and to open it, type calc in the Start Search bar, and hit Enter. At ...

Instructables member APTechnologies has created the “ultimate binary watch” using a few 3D printed components, binary RGB interface and clean design. “I recently got introduced to the concept of ...

Decimal arithmetic is indispensable in applications where precision is paramount, such as in financial, commercial and scientific domains. The inherent challenges of decimal computation, particularly ...
