Binary Arithmetic Flashcards

The process of adding binary numbers together, following the rules: 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+0=1, 1+1=10 (carry 1).

Occurs when the result of a binary addition exceeds the number of bits available to store it.

A method of multiplying or dividing binary numbers by shifting the bits left or right.

Shifts all bits to the left, effectively multiplying the number by 2 for each shift.

Shifts all bits to the right, effectively dividing the number by 2 for each shift.

Increases the value of the binary number but may cause overflow if bits are lost.

Decreases the value of the binary number but may lose precision if bits are lost.

When adding two binary digits results in a sum of 10, the 1 is carried to the next column.

Adding 1010 and 1101 results in 10111 (carry applied where necessary).

Used in computers to perform calculations and process data efficiently using binary numbers.
