Exercise 1
1. Convert the binary number 11011101 to decimal by hand, showing all steps.
Answer = 221
128 * 1 = 128
64 * 1 = 64
32 * 0 = 0
16 * 1 = 16
8*1 = 8
4*1 = 4
2*1 = 0
1* 1 = 1
221
2. Using the “Number systems” app, type 11011101 into the Base X text area. Verify your answer
above. Take a screenshot.
3. Example for 49

, 4. To learn how to do this yourself, convert the decimal number 77 to binary using this method of
repeated division, just like the app did.
77 ÷ 2 = 38 with a remainder of 1
38 ÷ 2 = 19 with a remainder of 0
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with a remainder of 1
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with a remainder of 1
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with a remainder of 0
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with a remainder of 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with a remainder of 1
Now collect the remainders from the bottom up and put them together to form the base 2
number.
The number is 1001101
5. Use the “Number systems” app to check your result. Type 77 into the Base 10 text area and
press Convert. Take a screenshot.
6. Use the “Number systems” app to convert 123 from base 5 to decimal. Type 123 into the Base X
text area, select Base 5 from the choices in the pull-down menu, and click Convert. Does this
