    Signed, Unsigned and Fractional Binary Numbers

    The document discusses signed, unsigned, and fractional binary numbers. It explains that signed binary numbers use two's complement notation where the most significant bit (MSB) indicates the sign, with 1 representing negative and 0 representing positive or zero. Unsigned binary numbers only represent positive integers. Fractional binary numbers involve moving the binary point to the right of some or all bits. The location of the binary point determines whether it represents a signed or unsigned fraction. Decimal values are calculated by multiplying the binary digit values by powers of one-half.

    Signed and Unsigned Binary Numbers


    The value of a decimal number is based on three

    factors.
    The type of symbol used The position of the symbol with respect to a fixed

    reference (decimal point).


    The use of zero.

    Signed and Unsigned Binary Numbers


    Example: Based on the three factors listed earlier, let's look at what the decimal number 702 represents. 7 0 2 . Decimal

    The "0" in the tensthe hundreds column The digit "2" inpositional value The digit "7" inabsolute value of all therefore, the the ones positional means there column meansthe absolute value column 702. represent there are positional are no tens, so the absolute three digits is value is 0. 2. value of

    seven hundreds.

    Signed and Unsigned Binary Numbers


    An Unsigned binary number, this form of binary representation is known as unsigned integers because it can only represent integers that are positive. When the numeric representation is also allowed to include negative integers, its is known as signed integers. The positive values are stored as simple binary numbers, but negative numbers are stored in two complement form.

    Signed and Unsigned Binary Numbers


    Things to remember:

    For signed integers that use twos complement notation, the MSB is assigned the role of indicating the sign of the number. An MSB of 1 means that the number is negative; an MSB of 0 means that the number is positive (or zero).

    Signed and Unsigned Binary Numbers


    The MSB in this case is approximately termed the sign bit.

    The procedure for determining the decimal equivalent of a twos complement binary number is exactly the same as the one we have used for unsigned integer, except that the sign of the MSB is negative.

    Fractional Binary Numbers


    In Fractional Binary numbers, we must move the binary point toward the left so that some (or all) of the bits are to the right of the binary point.
