The document discusses decimal to binary coded decimal (BCD) conversion. It defines BCD as a 4-bit coding system that represents each decimal digit with a unique 4-bit binary pattern. Numbers larger than 9 are represented by grouping the 4-bit codes for each digit from left to right. The document then provides examples of converting a binary number to decimal, and then to BCD, which involves first converting the binary number to decimal, then coding each decimal digit as a 4-bit BCD pattern.

2. 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.

4. ?? 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
11101100111

5. 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.
