Binary addition is being able to add two numbers together which are represented in binary form, which consist of 1s and 0s, you can add them together by converting them into denary, adding It together and then converting it back but its much faster to use the column addition method which you will see below.

There are four possibilities when adding binary numbers, these possibilities are:

a total of 0 (0+0) put down 0
a total of 1 (1+0, 0+1 or 0+0+carried 1) put down 1
a total of 2 (1+1) put down 0, carry 1
a total of 3 (1+1+ carried 1) put down 1, carry 1


For example, solve 6+7 using binary addition:

First convert 6 and 7 from denary to binary using your preferred method

6 = 4+2+0 = 110
7 = 4+2+1 = 111


Then add them keeping in mind the 4 possibilities and add each digit together, starting on the right:

110  +
111
---


So:

0+1 = 1
1+1 = 0 carry 1
1+1+ carried 1 = 1 carry 1
1 + 0 = 1


so 110+111 = 1101. Converting this number back to denary gives us an answer of 13.

### Another Example

You could get 3 numbers to add however you wont be given a situation in which there are more than a total of 3.

For example:

 101
101+
011+
----


Which would = 1101

If you do end up in a situation where you have more than 3 ones, you need to miss a column and place the carry in the next one.

1.

 What is 00110101 + 01010001 in binary? → 1+1 = 2. Put down o, carry 1 → 0+0+1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0 → 1+0 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0 → 0+0 = 0. Put down 0 carry 0 → 1+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 1+0+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 0+1+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 0+0+1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0 → 10000110

2.

 What is 01110001 + 00011111 in denary? → 1+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 0+0+1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0 → 0+0 = 0. Put down 0, carry 0 → 0+0 = 0.Put down 0, carry 0 → 1+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 1+0+1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1 → 1+1+1 = 3. Put down 1, carry 1 → 0+0+1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0 → 11000010 → 128+64+2 = 194

3.

 What is 01101110 + 01100101 in 8-bit binary? → 0 + 1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0. → 1 + 0 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0. → 1 + 1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1. → 0 + 1 + 1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1. → 0 + 0 + 1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0. → 1 + 1 = 2. Put down 0, carry 1. → 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. Put down 1, carry 1. → 0 + 0 + 1 = 1. Put down 1, carry 0. → 11010011

4.

 What is it called when the numbers adds together to make a number bigger than 255 so doesn't fit into the 8 bits? → This is an overflow.

5. What do you do when you have an overflow?

 Add it anyway and then forget the overflow Add an extra bit give up Subtract the numbers instead

6.

 What is 01100010 + 01001101 in 8 bit binary? → Add the one no carry → Add the one no carry → Add the one no carry → Add the one no carry → Don't add anything because its zero → Add the one no carry → Add the one carry the 1 → Add the carry to the 0's so its a 1

7.
