Binary to Decimal Conversion
Binary numbers are base-2 numbers that consist of only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit (which is 2⁰). To convert a binary number to decimal, you multiply each binary digit by 2 raised to the power of its position (starting from 0 on the right) and then sum all the results.
For example, the binary number 101 in decimal is calculated as:
- 1 × 2² = 4
- 0 × 2¹ = 0
- 1 × 2⁰ = 1
Adding these together gives 4 + 0 + 1 = 5 in decimal.
This same method applies to longer binary numbers, including the one in this calculator.
Formula Used
Binary to Decimal Conversion Formula
The decimal equivalent (D) of a binary number B with n digits is calculated as:
D = Σ (from i=0 to n-1) (bᵢ × 2ⁱ)
Where bᵢ is the i-th digit of the binary number (starting from the right).
For the binary number 0 01111110 10100000000000000000000, the calculator applies this formula to compute the decimal result.
Worked Example
Let's convert the binary number 1101 to decimal as an example:
- Write down the binary number: 1 1 0 1
- Assign each digit a power of 2 from right to left: 1×2³, 1×2², 0×2¹, 1×2⁰
- Calculate each term: 1×8 = 8, 1×4 = 4, 0×2 = 0, 1×1 = 1
- Sum the results: 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13
The decimal equivalent of 1101 is 13. This same method is used by the calculator for longer binary numbers.
