How do I change binary to decimal?

[mikysee]

I have an exam in 1 hr and I still don't get this. Thanks for any help.

Each digit represents a power of 2, the same way as in decimal each digit is a power of 10.

i.e.
302 in decimal = 3x100 + 0x10 + 2x1

11001 in binary = 1x16 + 1x8 + 0x4 + 0x2 + 1x1 = 25.

302 in decimal = 3x100 + 0x10 + 2x1

11001 in binary = 1x16 + 1x8 + 0x4 + 0x2 + 1x1 = 25.

You could think of it like this.

3x10^2 + 0x10^1 + 2x10^0

1x2^4 + 1x2^3 + 0x2^2 + 1x2^1 + 1x2^0

(^ mean to the power of what ever base you want. Binary is base 2, so you ^ every from that base)

That's the best way to describe it...

1. But calculator in "Base-N" mode.
2. Choose Base-2.
3. Input binary number.
4. Choose Base-10.
5. Write down answer

learn binary maybe? if you think binary is hard you might have trouble with hex.

What, you trying to make his head explode?

See my post in HT here. Maybe it will help.

No kidding. Binary is a piece of cake. Had a much greater problem with hex.
