Example of Binary Notation
The number written in decimal notation as $127$ is expressed in binary notation as $1111111_2$.
Proof
\(\ds 127\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 1 \times 2^6 + 1 \times 2^5 + 1 \times 2^4 + 1 \times 2^3 + 1 \times 2^2 + 1 \times 2^1 + 1 \times 2^0\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 1111111_2\) |
$\blacksquare$
