Binary To Decimal Conversion Methods

The document discusses different methods for converting binary numbers to decimal numbers. It explains that binary numbers use a base-2 system with digits of 0 and 1, while decimal uses a base-10 system with digits 0-9. It then provides examples of converting specific binary numbers to decimal through summing the place values of digits that are 1. These include examples of converting whole numbers, fractional numbers, and mixed numbers between the two number systems.

The decimal number system is represented by the digit 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It consists


ten digits and hence the base of the system is 10. Their base is increased by the factor of
10. On the other hand, the binary number system consists only two digits 1 and 0.The
base of the binary number system is 2, and it is increased by the factor of two. The first
digit has 20 weights, the second has 2 1 weights, the weight of the third digit is 2 2 and so
on. Consider a decimal number 3285 it can be written as

3285 = 3000 + 200 + 80 + 5


3285 = 3(103) + 2(102) + 8(101) + 5(100)

Thus the decimal number system is an example of positional notation where each digit
position has a weight in terms of powers of ten. Similarly, in the binary number system
each digit position has a weight regarding powers of two. Some of the examples of
a binary digit are shown in the example.

In binary to decimal conversion when there is one in a digit position of a binary number,
then the weight of the position is added. But when there is the zero in a binary position
the weight of the position is disregarded.

Considered the conversion of the binary number 10101 into its equivalent decimal
numbers

On disregarding the weight 2 3 and 2 1 and summing up the remaining weights, we get the
equivalent decimal number 21.

Binary to Decimal Conversion for Fractional Number


For a fractional number, the weights of the digit position to the right of binary point are
given by 2-1, 2 -2, 2 -3, 2 -4… etc. Consider the conversion of a fractional binary number.0101
into its equivalent decimal numbers.

After disregarding the weight 2 -1 and 2 -3 and summing up the remaining weights, i.e., we
1/2
get the decimal number 0.3125.

Binary to Decimal Conversion For Mixed Number


The number with an integer and fractional part are called mixed number.The weight for
a mixed number can be written as

Consider the conversion of a binary number 1101.101 into its equivalents decimal
number

After disregarding the weight 2 1 and 2 -1 and on summing up the remaining weights the
required decimal number is 13.625.
