Consider the sequence of digits 01001101_BCD. Determine the decimal number being represented, assuming BCD coding scheme.

Solution

BCD Coding of Decimal No.is done by converting each decimal number to its binary.

Such as 25 has a BCD Code 0010 0101, where 0010 is the Binary Representation of 2 and 0101 is the Binary Representation of 5.

So according to the given question we have a BCD Code 01001101, breaking it into 2 parts of 4 bit each we get

0100 and 1101, where 0100 has a Decimal Value 4

and 1101 has a Decimal Value 13, but as in Decimal number system we only have 10 digits, that is from 0 to 9, So it is Not Possible to Convert the Given BCD to Decimal.
