Binary numbers are base-2 representations using only 0 and 1, essential for computer systems due to their electrical signal states. Denary numbers, or decimal numbers, are base-10 representations used in everyday life, consisting of digits 0-9. The document explains how to convert binary to decimal using a specific formula.

Computer Binary and denary numbers What Are Binary Numbers? Binary numbers are numbers written in the base-2 numeral system, which uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Each binary digit (bit) represents a power of 2, making it different from the decimal system (which uses base- 10 with digits 0-9). Why Is Binary Important? Binary numbers are the foundation of all computer systems because computers use electrical signals, which have only two states: ON (1) and OFF (0). Example of a Binary Number: The binary number 10112 represents: (1*23)+(0x22)+(1x21)+(1*20)(1x23)+(0x22)+(1*21)+ (1x20)(1x8)+(0x4)+(1x2)+(1x1)=8+0+241=1110(1x8)+ (0x4)+(1*2)+(1x1)=8+0+24+1=1110 So, 10112 = 11149 in decimal. What is a Denary (Decimal) Number? A denary number (also called a decimal number) is a number written in the base-10 system, which is the standard numbering system we use in everyday life. It consists of ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. It is called base-10 because each place value is a power of 10. Example of a Denary Number: The number 357,> can be broken down as: (3102)+(5*101)+(7x100)(3*102)+(5x101)+(7x100) (3x100)+(5x10)+(7*1)=300+50+7=357(3x100)+ (5x10)+(7x1)=300+50+7 =357 ele a Ae LLL a tay Binary (Base-2) Denary (Base-10) rm vJ leh [epee Lely ea Computers, digital systems unting, money, measurements How to Convert Binary to Decimal A binary number consists of only Os and 1s. Each digit represents a power of 2, starting from the right (with 2°). The formula to convert binary (base 2) to decimal (base 10) is: Decimal=(bnx2n)+(bn-1x2n-1)+...+(b1*21)+(b0x20)Decimal= (bnx2n)+(bn-1x2n-1)+...+(b1*21)+(b0x20) Where: ° bb is each binary digit (0 or 1) ¢ —nnis the position of the digit from right (starting at 0) Example 1: Convert 10112 to Decimal (1*23)+(0x22(1x23)+(0x22
