Binary to Decimal
• Technique
– Multiply each bit by 2n, where n is the
“weight” of the bit
– The weight is the position of the bit, starting
from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example
Bit “0”

1010112 => 1 x 20 = 1
1 x 21 = 2
0 x 22 = 0
1 x 23 = 8
0 x 24 = 0
1 x 25 = 32

– The weight is the position of the bit, starting
from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example

– The weight is the position of the bit, starting
from 0 on the right
– Add the results
Example

ABC16 => C x 160 = 12 x 1 = 12


B x 161 = 11 x 16 = 176
A x 162 = 10 x 256 = 2560

• Technique
– Divide by two, keep track of the remainder
– First remainder is bit 0 (LSB, least-
significant bit)
– Second remainder is bit 1
– Etc.
