  • Question
  • Shifting a binary number to the left by one position is equivalent to ________.


  • Options
  • A. multiplying by two
  • B. multiplying by four
  • C. dividing by two
  • D. dividing by four

  • Correct Answer
  • multiplying by two 

    Explanation
    Shifting a binary number by one bit is equivalent to multiplying (when shifting to the left) or dividing (when shifting to the right) the number by 2.
