DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) Each character is represented by a string of bits, Example: Capital Letter: A = 01000001 Number: 9 = 00001001 Special Character: # = 00100011 Each group of 8 bits is known as a byte Codes can be used to represent almost any type of information digitally: computer data, graphics, photos, voice, videos, and music
How to convert a decimal number to binary: Divide the number by 2, get the quotient and the remainder Bring down the quotient, divide it by 2, get the quotient and the remainder again Do it repeatedly until the quotient results to 0 Copy the remainder from bottom to top That is the binary equivalent
Example : How many 20 kB files can be stored in a 1 MB folder? Solution: Given: 20 kB files ; 1 MB 20 kB x 1, 024 bytes = 20 x 1, 024 = 20, 480 bytes 1 kB 51.2 1 MB = 1, 048, 576 bytes 20 480 1 048 576.0 1 024 00 24 576 20 480 4 0960 4 0960 xxxxx 51.2 20 kB files Answer:
