INFORMATION

A decimal number can be converted to BCD by writing the 4-bit binary equivalents of all digits in the decimal, in the same order.

For example (273)₁₀ has 3 digits. If we write these digits as 4-bit binary numbers we obtain

• (2)₁₀ = (0010)₂,
• (7)₁₀ = (0111)₂ and
• (3)₁₀ = (0011)₂

Writing those binary numbers with the same order as decimal, gives us the BCD equivalent.

(273)₁₀ = (0010 0111 0011)_BCD
