Document Summary
Bit: smallest possible unit of information: two values: 0 and 1. Byte: packet of 8 bits: 28 unique patterns (256) 154 / 2 (target base) = 77, with r 0 (right-most bit of your answer) 77 / 2 = 38, with r 1. 38 / 2 = 19, with r 0. 19 / 2 = 9, with r 1. 9 / 2 = 4, with r 1. 4 / 2 = 2, with r 0. 2 / 2 = 1, with r 0 (cid:1005) / (cid:1006) = (cid:1004), with r (cid:1005) (cid:894)*it"s this (cid:1004) that sig(cid:374)als it is ti(cid:373)e to stop(cid:895) Take the bits from bottom to top to get final answer = 10011010.
