Math Problem Statement

Add in base two: 111_2 + 11_2

Solution

To solve the binary addition of 1112+112111_2 + 11_2, we'll follow the rules of binary addition, which are:

  1. 0+0=00 + 0 = 0
  2. 1+0=11 + 0 = 1
  3. 1+1=101 + 1 = 10 (which is 0 with a carry of 1)
  4. 1+1+1=111 + 1 + 1 = 11 (which is 1 with a carry of 1)

Let's add these binary numbers step-by-step:

& 1 & 1 & 1 \\ + & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ \hline & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \end{array}$$ **Step-by-Step Addition:** 1. **Rightmost Column:** $$1 + 1 = 10$$ (write down 0, carry 1) 2. **Middle Column:** $$1 + 1 + 0 = 10$$ (write down 0, carry 1) 3. **Leftmost Column:** $$1 + 1 = 10$$ (write down 1) So, the final result of $$111_2 + 11_2$$ in base two is: $$1010_2$$ ### Do you want more details or have any questions? Here are some related questions you might consider: 1. How would you perform subtraction in binary? 2. What is the decimal equivalent of the binary number $$1010_2$$? 3.
