1.
(i) Solution: From the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 420 is 256, and 28=256. From 420−256=164, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 164 is 128, and 27=128. From 164−128=36, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 36 is 32, and 25=32. From 36−32=4, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 4 is 4, and 22=4. Since
420=256+128+32+4=1×28+1×27+0×25+1×23+0×24+0×23+1×22+0×2+0
Therefore, 420=(110100100)2
(ii) Solution: From the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 2640 is 2048, and 2n=2048. From 2640−2048=592, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 592 is 512, and 29=512. From 592−512=80, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 80 is 64, and 25=64. From 80−64=16, and from the value column in Table 1, we know that the largest number not exceeding 16 is 16, and 24=16. Since
2640=2048+512+64+16=1×211+0×210+1×29+0×28+0×27+1×26+0×25+1×24+0×23+0×22+0×2+0
Therefore, 2640=(101001010000)2
