How to calculate odd parity bit of binary number 10111001?
Step 1: Gather your Data
Collect the data bits that you want to include in your message. The binary number 10111001 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 5 (five) 1s.
Step 3: Determine Parity
Determine whether the number of 1s in your bits is odd or even. Since we have five 1s in example with 10111001, which is an odd number, we need to set the parity bit to 0, because the number of 1s is already odd .
