Binary (base-2) is a number system used in computing, consisting of only two digits: 0 and 1. Decimal (base-10) is the standard number system used in daily life, based on ten digits: 0 to 9. Converting binary to decimal is essential for understanding data in a human-readable format.
Conversion Method
Steps to Convert
- Write down the binary number and assign positional values to each bit, starting from 0 on the right (least significant bit).
- Multiply each bit by 2position (the positional value).
- Add all the results together to obtain the decimal equivalent.
Example
Convert 110012 (binary) to decimal:
Assign positions from right to left: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Compute each bit's value:
Expression | Result |
1 × 20 | 1 |
0 × 21 | 0 |
0 × 22 | 0 |
1 × 23 | 8 |
1 × 24 | 16 |
Add the values: 1 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 16 = 25
Result: 110012 = 2510
