Even Parity of 10100000

How to calculate even parity bit of binary number 10100000?

Step 1: Gather your Data

Collect the data bits that you want to include in your message. The binary number 10100000 consists of 8 (eight) bit data sequence.

Step 2: Count the Number of 1s

Count the number of 1s in your data sequence. In our example, there are 2 (two) 1s.

Step 3: Determine Parity

Determine whether the number of 1s in your bits is even or odd. Since we have two 1s in example with 10100000, which is an even number, we need to set the parity bit to 0, because the number of 1s is already even .

Step 4: Append the Parity Bit

Append the parity bit (0) to the end of your number.

The resulting message becomes: 101000000.
