1. Click the button labeled “Click to Generate Random IP Address.” This will create a unique IPv4 address for your copy of the spreadsheet.

2. Break your IPv4 address into 4 octets (numbers separated by dots). Example: 192.168.1.1

3. Use the Exponent (Base 2) row (2⁷ through 2⁰) to calculate the decimal place values. Fill these into the row labeled Decimal (Place) Value. Example: 2⁷ = 128, … 2⁰ = 1

4. For each octet, use the numbers (128, … ,1), highlight the ones that add up to your octet, and type a 1 for those numbers and a 0 for the rest (example: 192 = 128 + 64 → 11000000).

5. Repeat this process for all four octets. Each octet must be written in 8 bits. Your IPv4 address will now be represented as a 32-bit binary number.

6. Check your work: Add up the place values where you put 1s to confirm that each total matches your original decimal octet.

7. Submit your completed sheet after converting all 4 octets.
