Answer to question 1
a)0x2ED1 to Binary
This digit is in hexadecimal thus now converting into binary
Zero has no value thus ignoring it
2ED1 is now converted from 8421 code.
2=0010
E=1110
D=1101
1=0001
Thus, combining it we get
0010111011010001
Thus, value of binary digit starts from 1
So, the answer is 10111011010001
b) -29.6610 to Binary
For converting this into binary, the value before decimal point is divided by 2 and the value
after decimal point is multiplied by 2
-29/2
Steps Quotient Reminder Number of times
29/2 14 1 0
14/2 7 0 1
7/2 3 1 2
3/2 1 1 3
1/2 0 1
Thus, -29 into binary is = -11101( Writing from down to up)
