(2 Questions)

  • Q1. How to predict if a 32 bit number is divisible by 8, draw a circuit using gates
  • Ans. 

    To predict if a 32 bit number is divisible by 8, design a circuit using gates.

    • Use a circuit with AND, OR, and NOT gates to check if the last three bits of the number are all zeros.

    • If the last three bits are zeros, then the number is divisible by 8.

    • For example, if the 32 bit number is 11010000, the last three bits are zeros, so it is divisible by 8.
