Conversion of Binary, Octal and

Hexadecimal Numbers
From Binary to Octal
Starting at the binary point and working left, separate the bits into
groups of three and replace each group with the corresponding octal
digit.

100010112 = 010 001 011 = 2138

From Binary to Hexadecimal


Starting at the binary point and working left, separate the bits into
groups of four and replace each group with the corresponding
hexadecimal digit.

100010112 = 1000 1011 = 8B16

From Octal to Binary


Replace each octal digit with the corresponding 3-bit binary string.

2138 = 010 001 011 = 100010112

From Hexadecimal to Binary


Replace each hexadecimal digit with the corresponding 4-bit binary
string.

8B16 = 1000 1011 = 100010112

Conversion of Fractions
Starting at the binary point, group the binary digits that lie to
the right into groups of three or four.

0.101112 = 0.101 110 = 0.568

Floating-Point Numbers

Normalized fraction - the fraction always starts with a nonzero bit. e.g.
0.01 x 2e would be normalized to 0.1 x 2e-1
1.01 x 2e would be normalized to 0.101 x 2e+1
Since the only nonzero bit is 1, it is usually omitted in all computers today. Thus, the 23-bit
normalized fraction in reality has 24 bits.
The exponent is represented in a biased form.

If we take an m-bit exponent, there are 2m possible unsigned integer values.


Re-label these numbers: 0 to 2m-1 -2m-1 to 2m-1-1 by subtracting a constant value (or
bias) of 2m-1 (or sometimes 2m-1-1).
Ex. using m=3, the bias = 23-1 = 4. Thus the series 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 becomes -4,-3,-2,1,0,1,2,3. Therefore, the true exponent -4 is represented by 0 in the bias form and -3 by
+1, etc.
zero is represented by 0.0 x 20.

Ex. if n = 1010.1111, we normalize it to 0.10101111 x 24. The true exponent is +4. Using the
32-bit standard and a bias of 2m-1-1 = 28-1-1 = 127, the true exponent (+4) is stored as a biased
exponent of 4+127 = 131, or 10000011 in binary. Thus we have
0|10000011|01011110000000000000000
Notice that the first 1 in the normalized fraction is omitted.
The biased exponent representation is also called excess n, where n is 2m-1-1 (or 2m-1).
