WHAT IS IT
UNITS IN COMPUTING
In the past, we have already learned about binary numbers and bits. Why don’t
we have a quick recap.
The binary number system consists of 0s and 1s that we call bits. 1 is a bit, 0
is a bit. A combination of 8 bits is what we call a byte.
For example:
10101010 is a byte 11100011 is a byte
10001000 is a byte 11001100 is a byte
6
A bit is the most basic unit in computing. Followed by a byte. In the table below
are the other units used in computing:
Nibble 4 bits
Byte 8 bits
Kilobyte (KB) 1,024 Bytes
Megabyte (MB) 1,024 Kiloytes
Gigabyte (GB) 1,024 Megabytes
Terabyte (TB) 1,024 Gigabytes
Petabyte (PB) 1,024 Terabytes
Exabyte (EB) 1,024 Petabytes
TEXT IN BINARY
In encoding text to binary and binary to text is quite a process. Computers use
what is known as ASCII characters for users and programmers to be able to input and
output text.
ASCII is also the most common format for text files in computers and on the
internet. In an ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special character is represented
with a 7-bit binary number.
In the following tables are the list of codes and their corresponding characters
and symbols:

In 1981, IBM developed an extension of 8-bit ASCII code, called “code page
437”.
Also 128 characters were added , with new symbols, signs, graphics and Latin
letters, all punctuation signs and characters needed to write texts in other languages,
such as Spanish.
In this way was added the ASCII characters ranging from 128 to 255.
Have you ever wondered how we are able to see images and videos on our
screens? Binary numbers are still the ones responsible for these.
For example, consider an image with lots of colors such as this one:
9
Pixels:
If we zoom this in, we would be seeing tiny dots called pixels. And each pixel
has a color. Each of the color can be represented with numbers.
A typical image has 1 million pixels. A typical video shows 30 images per
second. When we consider this, a minute-long video would be showing around 3 billion
pixels per minute. Thus, the big size of the file.
SOUND IN BINARY
Binary is also responsible for the music we hear from our phones and
computers! How? Read on.
Any point in this waveform can be represented by a number. And in this way,
sound can be broken down into a series of numbers.
When we use computers, we don’t deal directly with ones and zeros, but we
will be dealing with texts, images, videos and sounds.

WHAT’S MORE
ACTIVITY 1
A. Using the ASCII table of characters given in the lesson, get the decimal
equivalent for each character below:
B. This time, using the answers you got in A, give the binary equivalent for each
decimal number. Make sure to use 8 bits in each answer. Example if your
answer is 1001, then add 0000 to the left to make it 8 bits: 00001001
Character: P a n d e m i c
ASCII Code:
Binary:
