Even Parity of 100100110
How to calculate even parity bit of binary number 100100110?
Step 1: Gather your Data
Collect the data bits that you want to include in your message. The binary number 100100110 consists of 9 (nine) bit data sequence.
Step 2: Count the Number of 1s
Count the number of 1s in your data sequence. In our example, there are 4 (four) 1s.
Step 3: Determine Parity
Determine whether the number of 1s in your bits is even or odd. Since we have four 1s in example with 100100110, 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
