Binary Math Rules

Binary Math Rules. Let me tell you a tale, my friend, Of ones and zeros that never end. A world of binary, simple and true, With rules to help guide you. First, addition is easy as can be, Just like counting, it's plain to see. Add each column right to left, Carry over if it's too deft. Subtraction takes a bit more thought, But with practice, it can be caught. Borrow from the next column to the left, And subtract as you would with the best. Multiplication is just like adding more, But with a trick that you'll adore. Multiply each digit, right to left, And add them up to get your quest. Division is the trickiest of all, But don't worry, you won't fall. Divide as you would in base ten, And the answer will come to you then. And lastly, don't forget the power, A binary concept that's never sour. Two to the power of each column's place, Will give you a number with grace. So there you have it, my friend, Binary math from start to end. Remember these rules and you'll do just fine, In the world of ones and zeros that shine. By Otieno Elvis Gikoi THE ELO’S POETRY
