Binary addition is similar to decimal addition, with numbers represented using only 1s and 0s instead of multiple digits. The document walks through an example of adding 0111 and 1111 in binary to get 010110 by carrying digits place-to-place and tracking carries of 1 or 0. It then provides some additional practice problems for the reader to try.

2. Intro
Adding binary values is very similar to adding
regular (base 10) numbers.
Only caveat is that you must keep track of
numbers to carry which can only be 1 or 0

3. Let’s try doing one
0111
+ 1111

4. Let’s try doing one
1
0111
+ 1111
0

5. Let’s try doing one
11
0111
+ 1111
10

6. Let’s try doing one
111
0111
+ 1111
110

7. Let’s try doing one
111
0111
+ 1111
010110

8. Take a few minutes and try some
0011 + 0011
0101 + 1010
1100 + 1011
1111 + 1111

9. Take a few minutes and try some
0011 + 0011 = 0110
0101 + 1010 = 1111
1100 + 1011 = 010111
1111 + 1111 = 011110
