Kaprekar Number 6174 Theory

The number 6174 is the only unchanged mysterious number discovered by Kaprekar's operation. Discover the mystery behind the 6174 loop by using any four digit number.

Rules

   Step 1  

Select any four digit number, but do not select the ones in which all the four

  digits are the same like 1111, 2222, ...  

   Step 2  

Arrange the digits in decreasing order. 

   Step 3  

Arrange the digits in increasing order. 

   Step 4  

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number. 

   Step 5  

Repeat the steps 2, 3 and 4 until you get 6174 in repetition. 

Example

  Step : 1 ==> 4 digit number is 5620. 

  Step : 2 ==> Arrange decreasing order : 6520 

  Step : 3 ==> Arrange increasing order : 0256 

  Step : 4 ==> Subtract the smaller number from the larger number : 

       6520 - 0256 = 6264 

  Step : 5 ==> Take the final result and repeat the steps 2, 3, and 4 until

you get the repetition of 6174. 

  Like,

6264 = 6642 - 2466 = 4176 

  4176 = 7641 - 1467 = 6174 

6174 = 7641 - 1467 = 6174 

Have fun with this math trick and discover why all the 4 digit numbers on subtracting using the kaprekar operation reach to the mysterious number 6174.

Angel Number 421

Take any whole number and apply the rules and play.

Rules

   Step 1  

Select any whole number. 

   Step 2  

If it is an even number, divide by 2; if it is odd number multiply by 3 and add 1. 

   Step 3  

Repeat the process mentioned in step 2 until you get the loop value 4, 2, 1 in 

repetition. 

Example

  Whole number is 15. 

  15 is an odd no; so (15 × 3) + 1 = 46 

  46 is an even no; so 46 / 2 = 23 

  23 is an odd no; so (23 × 3) + 1 = 70 

  70 is an even no; so 70 / 2 = 35 

  35 is an odd no; so (35 × 3) + 1 = 106 

  106 is an even no; so 106 / 2 = 53 

  53 is an odd no; so (53 × 3) + 1 = 160 

  160 is an even no; so 160 / 2 = 80 

  80 is an even no; so 80 / 2 = 40 

  40 is an even no; so 40 / 2 = 20 

  20 is an even no; so 20 / 2 = 10 

  10 is an even no; so 10 / 2 = 5 

  5 is an odd no; so (5 × 3) + 1 = 16 

  16 is an even no; so 16 / 2 = 8 

  8 is an even no; so 8 / 2 = 4 

  4 is an even no; so 4 / 2 = 2 

  2 is an even no; so 2 / 2 = 1 

  1 is an odd no; so (1 × 3) + 1 = 4 

  4 is an even no; so 4 / 2 = 2 

  2 is an even no; so 2 / 2 = 1 

  So the loop 4..2..1 goes on and on.

Tip : The angel number 421 is the smallest prime formed by the two powers in logical order from right to left.

Multiplying Two-digit Numbers By 11

Multiplying Two-digit Numbers By 11 

This math multiplication trick helps you to multiply any two digit number by 11 easily and quickly.

Example 1:

Let us take the example of 12 * 11

Step 1:

In the first step, let us focus on 12.

Split the number 12 like this,1-------2

Step 2:

Now add the two digits of 12

That is1+2=3

Step 3:

Place 3 in the middle of the two digits of 12 and the result is 132

Now, we have arrived at the answer for 12*11=132.

Example 2:

Now let us take another example.65 * 11

Step 1:

As mentioned above in the first step, focus on 65.

Split the number 65 like this,6-------5

Step 2:

Now add the two digits of 65

That is6+5=11

Step 3:

However, we cannot place 11 in the middle of the two digits of 65.Write 1 in between 6 and 5. Carry over the remaining 1 to the previous number 6 as given below.

Add the 1 with 6 to get the digit in the hundredth place.

We have arrived at the answer for 65*11=715.

Math Addition Trick for Adding Two Digit Numbers

Math Addition Trick for Adding Two Digit Numbers

This math addition trick helps you in adding 2 two-digit numbers mentally without using paper and pen.

Let us begin with the basic method of adding two numbers

Take the example of 71 + 69

This is the usual method which we do with the help of pen and paper

Are you interested to do these calculations mentally?

If your answer is yes,then read below to learn the trick.

Trick:

In addition, adding 10 to a two digit number is easy as we just need to increase the digit in the tenth place by 1. 12 + 10 is 22,34 + 10 is 44 and so on.

We use the same rule while adding any two numbers.To be clear, see how 71 and 69 is added

Method 1:

Step 1:

71 + 69 can be written as 71 + 70 -1

In this step, 69 is split as 70 and 1

Step 2:

Addition of 71 + 70 is easy which gives 141 ie 71 + 70 = 141

Now subtract 1 from 141 ie 141 - 1 = 140.

This gives the answer i.e. 71 + 69 = 140

Method 2:

Alternatively, the below method can also be used.The choice of method depends on the numbers that are added

Step 1:

71 + 69 can be written as 71 + 60 + 9

In this step, 69 is split as 60 and 9

Step 2:

Addition of 71 + 60 is easy which gives 131 ie 71 + 60 = 131

Now add 9 to 131 ie 131 + 9 = 140.

This gives the answer i.e. 71 + 69 = 140

When you practice this, you can increase the speed and improve your addition skills.Try some practice questions

Finger Multiplication of Ninth (9th) Time Table

Math Trick to easily multiply and learn the ninth (9th) time table. It is used to teach children to learn tricks about multiplication table.

Place your fingers as in the below image and number the fingers from 1 to 10. 

Example 

Consider the multiplication of 4 × 9. 

Step 1: 

Here 4 is to be multiplied by 9. 

So, fold the 4th finger and count the ones before the folded finger. 

Number of fingers before the folded finger = 3 fingers 

Multiply the number by 10, = 3 × 10 = 30 -----> (1) 

(as shown in the below figure)

Step 2: 

Count the fingers after the folded finger = 6 -----> (2) 

(as shown in the below figure)

Step 3: 

Add (1) and (2), 

= 30 + 6 = 36 

Therefore the solution to our problem 4 × 9 = 36 is easily found using the above trick. 

Note: 

If there is no finger below/above the considered (folded) finger, then consider the value as zero (0). 

Play the same for the below multiplications

1 × 9 = ?

2 × 9 = ?

3 × 9 = ?

4 × 9 = ?

5 × 9 = ?

Finger Multiplication of 6,7,8,9,10 Time Tables

Math Trick to easily multiply the numbers from 6 to 10. It is used to teach children to learn tricks about multiplication time tables.

Place your fingers as in the below image and consider the value of fingers in each hand to be 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 - in the order from small finger to thumb. 

Example 

Consider the multiplication of 7 × 8. 

Make the finger numbered 7 in the left hand to touch the finger numbered 8 in the right hand. 

Step 1: 

Now in the left hand, count the finger which is touching (7) and the ones below that = 2 fingers 

Similarly in the right hand, count the finger which is touching (8) and the ones below that = 3 fingers 

Add the above counted fingers = 2 + 3 = 5 fingers 

Multiply the number by 10 = 5 × 10 = 50 -----> (1) 

Step 2: 

In the left hand, count the fingers above the touching finger = 3 fingers 

Similarly in the right hand, count the fingers above the touching finger = 2 fingers 

Multiply both = 3 × 2 = 6 -----> (2) 

Step 3: 

Add (1) and (2), 

= 50 + 6 = 56 

So, the answer for 7 × 8 = 56 which is easily found through the above trick. 

Note: 

If there is no finger above the considered (touched) finger, then consider the value as zero (0). 

Play the same for the below multiplications

6 × 6 = ? 6 × 7 = ? 6 × 8 = ? 6 × 9 = ? 6 × 10 = ?

7 × 6 = ? 7 × 7 = ? 7 × 8 = ? 7 × 9 = ? 7 × 10 = ?

8 × 6 = ? 8 × 7 = ? 8 × 8 = ? 8 × 9 = ? 8 × 10 = ?

9 × 6 = ? 9 × 7 = ? 9 × 8 = ? 9 × 9 = ? 9 × 10 = ?

Day of the Date

Here are some shortcuts/tips to find out the day of the week from the given date. You can play these trick as instructed, with your parents or friends and prove your talent to them.

Day of the Week:

January has 31 days. It means that every date in February will be 3 days later than the same date in January(28 is 4 weeks exactly). The below table is calculated in such a way. Remember this table which will help you to calculate.
January         0
February         3
March         3
April                 6
May                 1
June                 4
July                 6
August         2
September 5
October         0
November 3
December  5

Follow the following steps:

1. Ask for the Date. Ex: 23rd June 1986
2. Number of the month on the list, June is 4.
3. Take the date of the month, that is 23
4. Take the last 2 digits of the year, that is 86.
5. Find out the number of leap years. Divide the last 2 digits of the year by 4, 86 divide by 4 is 21.
6. Now add all the 4 numbers: 4 + 23 + 86 + 21 = 134.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION

SERIAL COMMUNICATION

BASICS OF SERIAL COMMUNICATION:

Computers transfer data in two ways:

• Parallel
• Often 8 or more lines (wire conductors) are used to transfer data to a device that is only a few feet away
• Serial
• To transfer to a device located many meters away, the serial method is used
• The data is sent one bit at a time

• At the transmitting end, the byte of data must be converted to serial bits using parallel-in-serial-out shift register
• At the receiving end, there is a serialin- parallel-out shift register to receive the serial data and pack them into byte
• When the distance is short, the digital signal can be transferred as it is on a simple wire and requires no modulation
• If data is to be transferred on the telephone line, it must be converted from 0s and 1s to audio tones
• This conversion is performed by a device called a modem, “Modulator/demodulator”

Methods of Serial Communication:

Serial data communication uses two methods

• Synchronous method transfers a block of data at a time
• Asynchronous method transfers a single byte at a time

Half- and Full- Duplex Transmission

If data can be transmitted and received, it is a duplex transmission

• If data transmitted one way a time, it is referred to as half duplex
• If data can go both ways at a time, it is full duplex
• This is contrast to simplex transmission

Data Transfer Rate

• The rate of data transfer in serial data communication is stated in bps (bits per second)
• Another widely used terminology for bps is baud rate
• It is modem terminology and is defined as the number of signal changes per second
• In modems, there are occasions when a single change of signal transfers several bits of data

Example:

With XTAL = 11.0592 MHz, find the TH1 value needed to have the following baud rates. (a) 9600 (b) 2400 (c) 1200

Solution:

The machine cycle frequency of 8051 = 11.0592 / 12 = 921.6 kHz, and 921.6 kHz / 32 = 28,800 Hz is frequency by UART to timer 1 to set baud rate.

1. 28,800 / 3 = 9600 where -3 = FD (hex) is loaded into TH1
2. 28,800 / 12 = 2400 where -12 = F4 (hex) is loaded into TH1
3. 28,800 / 24 = 1200 where -24 = E8 (hex) is loaded into TH1

Notice that dividing 1/12 of the crystal frequency by 32 is the default value upon activation of the 8051 RESET pin.

SBUF Register

• SBUF is an 8-bit register used solely for serial communication
• For a byte data to be transferred via the TxD line, it must be placed in the SBUF register
• The moment a byte is written into SBUF, it is framed with the start and stop bits and transferred serially via the TxD line
• SBUF holds the byte of data when it is received by 8051 RxD line
• When the bits are received serially via RxD, the 8051 deframes it by eliminating the stop and start bits, making a byte out of the data received, and then placing it in SBUF

Example:

MOV SBUF,#’D’         ;load SBUF=44h, ASCII for ‘D’

MOV SBUF,A              ;copy accumulator into SBUF

MOV A,SBUF              ;copy SBUF into accumulator

SCON Register

SCON is an 8-bit register used to program the start bit, stop bit, and data bits of data framing, among other things

SM0	SCON.7	Serial port mode specifier
SM1	SCON.6	Serial port mode specifier
SM2	SCON.5	Used for multiprocessor communication
REN	SCON.4	Set/cleared by software to enable/disable reception
TB8	SCON.3	Not widely used
RB8	SCON.2	Not widely used
TI	SCON.1	Transmit interrupt flag. Set by HW at the begin of the stop bit mode 1. And cleared by SW
RI	SCON.0	Receive interrupt flag. Set by HW at the begin of the stop bit mode 1. And cleared by SW

Note:    Make SM2, TB8, and RB8 =0

SM0, SM1

• They determine the framing of data by specifying the number of bits per character, and the start and stop bits
• Only MODE1 is of our interest. 

SM0	SM1
0	0	Serial Mode 0
0	1	Serial Mode 1, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit
1	0	Serial Mode 2
1	1	Serial Mode 3

SM2

• This enables the multiprocessing capability of the 8051

REN (receive enable)

• It is a bit-adressable register
• When it is high, it allows 8051 to receive data on RxD pin
• If low, the receiver is disable

TI (transmit interrupt)

• When 8051 finishes the transfer of 8-bit character
• It raises TI flag to indicate that it is ready to transfer another byte
• TI bit is raised at the beginning of the stop bit

RI (receive interrupt)

• When 8051 receives data serially via RxD, it gets rid of the start and stop bits and places the byte in SBUF register
• It raises the RI flag bit to indicate that a byte has been received and should be picked up before it is lost
• RI is raised halfway through the stop bit

Programming Serial Data Transmitting

In programming the 8051 to transfer character bytes serially

1. TMOD register is loaded with the value 20H, indicating the use of timer 1 in mode 2 (8-bit auto-reload) to set baud rate
2. The TH1 is loaded with one of the values to set baud rate for serial data transfer
3. The SCON register is loaded with the value 50H, indicating serial mode 1, where an 8- bit data is framed with start and stop bits
4. TR1 is set to 1 to start timer 1
5. TI is cleared by CLR TI instruction
6. The character byte to be transferred serially is written into SBUF register
7. The TI flag bit is monitored with the use of instruction JNB TI,xx to see if the character has been transferred completely
8. To transfer the next byte, go to step 5

Example:

Write a program for the 8051 to transfer letter “A” serially at 4800 baud, continuously.

Solution:

MOV TMOD,#20H            ;timer 1,mode 2(auto reload)

MOV TH1,#-6                    ;4800 baud rate

MOV SCON,#50H             ;8-bit, 1 stop, REN enabled

SETB TR1                           ;start timer 1

AGAIN:

MOV SBUF,#”A”               ;letter “A” to transfer

HERE:

JNB TI,HERE                      ;wait for the last bit

CLR TI                                ;clear TI for next char

SJMP AGAIN                     ;keep sending A

Example:

Write a program for the 8051 to transfer “YES” serially at 9600 baud, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit, do this continuously

Solution:

MOV TMOD,#20H            ;timer 1,mode 2(auto reload)

MOV TH1,#-3                     ;9600 baud rate

MOV SCON,#50H             ;8-bit, 1 stop, REN enabled

SETB TR1                            ;start timer 1

AGAIN:

MOV A,#”Y”                       ;transfer “Y”

ACALL TRANS

MOV A,#”E”                       ;transfer “E”

ACALL TRANS

MOV A,#”S”                       ;transfer “S”

ACALL TRANS

SJMP AGAIN                      ;keep doing it

         ;serial data transfer subroutine

TRANS:

MOV SBUF,A                     ;load SBUF

HERE:

JNB TI,HERE                       ;wait for the last bit

CLR TI                                  ;get ready for next byte

RET 

Importance of TI Flag

The steps that 8051 goes through in transmitting a character via TxD

• The byte character to be transmitted is written into the SBUF register
• The start bit is transferred
• The 8-bit character is transferred on bit at a time
• The stop bit is transferred
• It is during the transfer of the stop bit that 8051 raises the TI flag, indicating that the last character was transmitted
• By monitoring the TI flag, we make sure that we are not overloading the SBUF
• If we write another byte into the SBUF before TI is raised, the untransmitted portion of the previous byte will be lost
• After SBUF is loaded with a new byte, the TI flag bit must be forced to 0 by CLR TI in order for this new byte to be transferred

By checking the TI flag bit, we know whether or not the 8051 is ready to transfer another byte

• It must be noted that TI flag bit is raised by 8051 itself when it finishes data transfer
• It must be cleared by the programmer with instruction CLR TI
• If we write a byte into SBUF before the TI flag bit is raised, we risk the loss of a portion of the byte being transferred

The TI bit can be checked by

• The instruction JNB TI,xx
• Using an interrupt

Programming Serial Data Receiving

In programming the 8051 to receive character bytes serially

1. TMOD register is loaded with the value 20H, indicating the use of timer 1 in mode
2. (8-bit auto-reload) to set baud rate
3. TH1 is loaded to set baud rate
4. The SCON register is loaded with the value 50H, indicating serial mode 1, where an 8- bit data is framed with start and stop bits
5. TR1 is set to 1 to start timer 1
6. RI is cleared by CLR RI instruction
7. The RI flag bit is monitored with the use of instruction JNB RI,xx to see if an entire character has been received yet
8. When RI is raised, SBUF has the byte, its contents are moved into a safe place
9. To receive the next character, go to step 5

Example:

Write a program for the 8051 to receive bytes of data serially, and put them in P1, set the baud rate at 4800, 8-bit data, and 1 stop bit

Solution:

MOV TMOD,#20H            ;timer 1,mode 2(auto reload)

MOV TH1,#-6                    ;4800 baud rate

MOV SCON,#50H             ;8-bit, 1 stop, REN enabled

SETB TR1                           ;start timer 1

HERE:

JNB RI,HERE                      ;wait for char to come in

MOV A,SBUF                     ;saving incoming byte in A

MOV P1,A                           ;send to port 1

CLR RI                                 ;get ready to receive next byte

SJMP HERE                         ;keep getting data

Example:

Assume that the 8051 serial port is connected to the COM port of IBM PC, and on the PC, we are using the terminal.exe program to send and receive data serially. P1 and P2 of the 8051 are connected to LEDs and switches, respectively. Write an 8051 program to (a) send to PC the message “We Are Ready”, (b) receive any data send by PC and put it on LEDs connected to P1, and (c) get data on switches connected to P2 and send it to PC serially. The program should perform part (a) once, but parts (b) and (c) continuously, use 4800 baud rate.

Importance of RI Flag

In receiving bit via its RxD pin, 8051 goes through the following steps

• It receives the start bit
• Indicating that the next bit is the first bit of the character byte it is about to receive
• The 8-bit character is received one bit at time
• The stop bit is received
• When receiving the stop bit 8051 makes RI = 1, indicating that an entire character byte has been received and must be picked up before it gets overwritten by an incoming character
• By checking the RI flag bit when it is raised, we know that a character has been received and is sitting in the SBUF register
• We copy the SBUF contents to a safe place in some other register or memory before it is lost
• After the SBUF contents are copied into a safe place, the RI flag bit must be forced to 0 by CLR RI in order to allow the next received character byte to be placed in SBUF
• Failure to do this causes loss of the received character

By checking the RI flag bit, we know whether or not the 8051 received a character byte

• If we failed to copy SBUF into a safe place, we risk the loss of the received byte
• It must be noted that RI flag bit is raised by 8051 when it finish receive data
• It must be cleared by the programmer with instruction CLR RI
• If we copy SBUF into a safe place before the RI flag bit is raised, we risk copying garbage
• The RI bit can be checked by
• The instruction JNB RI,xx
• Using an interrupt

Doubling Baud Rate

There are two ways to increase the baud rate of data transfer

• To use a higher frequency crystal (The System Crystel is Fix)
• To change a bit in the PCON register

PCON register is an 8-bit register

• When 8051 is powered up, SMOD is zero
• We can set it to high by software and thereby double the baud rate

MOV A,PCON         ;place a copy of PCON in ACC

SETB ACC.7            ;make D7=1

MOV PCON,A         ;changing any other bits

Example:

Assume that XTAL = 11.0592 MHz for the following program, state (a) what this program does, (b) compute the frequency used by timer 1 to set the baud rate, and (c) find the baud rate of the data transfer.

MOV A,PCON              ;A=PCON

MOV ACC.7                 ;make D7=1

MOV PCON,A              ;SMOD=1, double baud rate

   ;with same XTAL freq.

MOV TMOD,#20H       ;timer 1, mode 2

MOV TH1,-3                  ;19200 (57600/3 =19200)

MOV SCON,#50H         ;8-bit data, 1 stop bit, RI enabled

SETB TR1                      ;start timer 1

MOV A,#”B”                  ;transfer letter B

A_1:

CLR TI                            ;make sure TI=0

MOV SBUF,A                ;transfer it

H_1:

JNB TI,H_1                    ;stay here until the last bit is gone

SJMP A_1                      ;keep sending “B” again

Solution:

(a) This program transfers ASCII letter B (01000010 binary) continuously

(b) With XTAL = 11.0592 MHz and SMOD = 1 in the above program, we have: 

11.0592 / 12 = 921.6 kHz machine cycle frequency. 921.6 / 16 = 57,600 Hz frequency used by timer 1 to set the baud rate. 57600 / 3 = 19,200, the baud rate.
