Solution
When adding the rightmost binary digits, we notice that will yield a rightmost digit of in the sum, and a will be carried over. The next sum is equal to yielding a digit of and a carry-over of In the next digit, we must sum up which is equal to so we must this time carry-over a The same thing happens for the next digit. Thus, the sum becomes: \begin{array}{c@{}c@{\;}c@{}c@{}c@{}c@{}c@{}c} & & & \stackrel{2}{1} & \stackrel{2}{1} & \stackrel{1}{1} & \stackrel{1}{0} & \stackrel{}{1}_2 \\ && & & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0_2 \\ && & & & 1 & 0 & 1_2 \\ &+ & & & & & 1 & 1_2 \\ \cline{2-8} && 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1_2 \\ \end{array} The sum is therefore
