What is BCD?
v? Binary coded decimal (BCD) is a system of writing
numerals that assigns a four-digit binary code to each
digit 0 through 9 in a decimal (base-10) numeral.	
v? The four-bit BCD code for any particular single base-10
digit is its representation in binary notation, as follows:
0 = 0000. 1 = 0001. 2 = 0010.

?? Numbers larger than 9, having two or more digits in the
decimal system, are expressed digit by digit. For
example, the BCD rendition of the base-10 number 1895
is	
	 	 0001 1000 1001 0101	
	
?? The binary equivalents of 1, 8, 9, and 5, always in a four-
digit format, go from left to right.	
?? The BCD representation of a number is not the same, in
general, as its simple binary representation. In binary
form, for example, the decimal quantity 1895 appears as

What is DECIMAL?
v?A number system that uses a notation in which
each number is expressed in base 10 by using
one of the ?rst nine integers or 0 in
each place and leXing each place value be a
power of 10.

DECIMAL TO BCD CONVERSION
q? Step 1 : Convert the binary
number to decimal.
q? Step 2 : Convert decimal number
to BCD.

Step 2 : Convert to BCD Decimal Number = (29)10
Calculating BCD Equivalent. Convert each digit into groups of four binary
digits equivalent.
