Introduction To Computing

The document discusses different number base conversion techniques including: - Binary to decimal by multiplying each bit by 2^n and adding the results - Octal to decimal by multiplying each bit by 8^n and adding - Hexadecimal to decimal by multiplying each bit by 16^n and adding It also covers converting between binary, decimal, octal and hexadecimal by dividing or separately converting bits up to the maximum value (7 for octal, F for hexadecimal) and combining the results. Examples are provided for each conversion method.

Binary to
Decimal
Binary 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 from the right
◦ Add the results
Binary to Decimal

(1 0 1)2 = ( __________________)10

1 x 20 = 1
0 x 21 = 0
1 x 22 = 4

Add the results 5


Example for Base (2) to Base (10)

Bit “0”
Bit “0” Results of *

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

Octal to Decimal

Decimal Octal

 Technique
◦ Multiply each bit by 8n, where n is the
“weight” of the bit
◦ The weight is the position of the bit,
starting from 0 from the right
◦ Add the results
Example

7248 => 4 x 80 = 4
2 x 81 = 16
7 x 82 = 448
46810
Hexadecimal to Decimal

Hexadecimal Decimal

 Technique
◦ Multiply each bit by 16n, where n is the “weight” of
the bit
◦ The weight is the position of the bit, starting from
0 from 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
274810
Decimal to Binary

Decimal Binary

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

12510 = ?2 2 125
2 62 1
2 31 0
2 15 1
2 7 1
2 3 1
2 1 1
0 1

12510 = 011111012

You can more understand this, through examples on the board 12


Octal to Binary

Octal Binary

 Technique
◦ Keep in mind Octal has a biggest number which is
7
◦ Each octal number shall be separately converted
in binary up to three bits from the right side then
you have to combine this number.

The reason to convert up to three bits is that,


because the octal’s biggest number i.e.; 7 comes
on the three bits of binary.
Example
7058 = ?2

7 0 5

111 000 101

7058 = 1110001012
Hexadecimal to Binary

Hexadecimal Binary

 Technique
◦ Keep in mind Octal has a biggest number which is F
and F = 15 in decimal and comes on four bits of
binary i.e.; 1111
◦ Same as octal you have to perform the separate
conversion for each number from the right side
toward left side.
Example
10AF16 = ?2

1 0 A F

0001 0000 1010 1111

10AF16 = 00010000101011112
