- To convert a number into binary form:
- First , divide the number by two
- Next, record the remainder (this will wither be zero or one)
- Next, repeat this process until the quotient is equal to zero
- Finally, display the remainders in reverse order to convert your number into binary form!
- Example:
- Binary number for 4:
- 4/2 = 2 (remainder zero)
- 2/2 = 1 (remainder zero)
- 1/2 = 0.5 (remainder one)
- Binary number = 100
- Binary number for 4:
- To convert a binary number into numerical form:
- Multiply each digit of a binary number from right to left with powers of 2 starting from 0 and add each result to get the number value
- Example:
- Number value for 10101:
- 1 x 2^0 = 1
- 0 x 2^1 = 0
- 1 x 2^2 = 4
- 0 x 2^3 = 0
- 1 x 2^4 = 16
- 1 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 = 21
- Number value for 10101:

c. Proprietary File Types and Open File Types
5 examples of proprietary file types include:
- Microsoft Word file type (.docx)
- Photoshop file type (.psd)
- Autodesk Inventor file type (.ipt)
- Microsoft Excel file type (.xls)
- Microsoft Powerpoint file type (.ppt)
5 examples of open file types include:
- MP3
- DOC and DOCX
- GIF
- RDF
Why should we be aware of digital obsolescence?
- We should be aware of digital obsolescence so that we are able to save and reach our documents/digital information into open file types so that we are able to access them years down the road. Saving digital work in proprietary files leaves any digital information in risk of being lost if the proprietary file types become outdated/inaccessible.
