2. Two's complement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

   Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

3. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

   v. t. e. In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent ...

4. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

   Signed number representations. In computing, signed number representations are required to encode negative numbers in binary number systems. In mathematics, negative numbers in any base are represented by prefixing them with a minus sign ("−"). However, in RAM or CPU registers, numbers are represented only as sequences of bits, without extra ...

5. Method of complements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

   The smaller numbers, for use when subtracting, are the nines' complement of the larger numbers, which are used when adding. In mathematics and computing, the method of complements is a technique to encode a symmetric range of positive and negative integers in a way that they can use the same algorithm (or mechanism) for addition throughout the ...

6. Binary number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

   This is because the radix of the hexadecimal system (16) is a power of the radix of the binary system (2). More specifically, 16 = 2 4, so it takes four digits of binary to represent one digit of hexadecimal, as shown in the adjacent table. To convert a hexadecimal number into its binary equivalent, simply substitute the corresponding binary ...

7. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

   In computing, floating-point arithmetic ( FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base. Numbers of this form are called floating-point numbers. [ 1]: 3 [ 2]: 10 For example, 12.345 is a floating-point number in base ten ...

8. List of numeral systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numeral_systems

   A binary clock might use LEDs to express binary values. In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time.. The common names are derived somewhat arbitrarily from a mix of Latin and Greek, in some cases including roots from both languages within a single name. [26]

9. Six-bit character code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bit_character_code

   A six-bit character code is a character encoding designed for use on computers with word lengths a multiple of 6. Six bits can only encode 64 distinct characters, so these codes generally include only the upper-case letters, the numerals, some punctuation characters, and sometimes control characters.
