Much like the decimal system, binary numbers can be added together. For this example the binary numbers 0110 and 0010 are going to be used and added.
| Eights | Fours | Twos | Ones | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binary | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 |
| Decimal | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| Eights | Fours | Twos | Ones | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binary | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
| Decimal | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
Thus by using decimal addition, 4+2+2=8, the value of the addition of two binary numbers can be determined as 8.
