Understanding Binary to Decimal Conversion

What is Binary?

● Binary is a number system that only uses


two digits: 0 and 1.
● It's the language computers use to
process data.
● Can you think of other systems that use
only two options to represent information?
Converting Binary to
Decimal
● To convert binary to decimal, start from
the rightmost digit.
● Each digit represents a power of 2, with
the rightmost being 2^0.
● Multiply each binary digit by its
corresponding power of 2 value.
● Why do you think we start with 2^0 on the
rightmost digit?
Example: Converting 1010
● Let's convert the binary number 1010 to decimal:
● 1. 1 x 2^3 = 8
● 2. 0 x 2^2 = 0 (ignore since it's zero)
● 3. 1 x 2^1 = 2
● 4. 0 x 2^0 = 0 (ignore again)
● Add the non-zero results: 8 + 2 = 10
● So, binary 1010 equals decimal 10. Isn't that interesting?
Understanding Fractional
Binary Numbers

● Binary numbers can have fractions, just


like decimals.
● Fractional parts use negative powers of 2
(e.g., 2^-1, 2^-2).
● To convert, multiply each digit after the
decimal by its negative power of 2.
● How do you think negative powers of 2
affect the value of the binary digit?
Practice Problem:
Convert 11001.011
● Try converting the binary number
11001.011 to decimal:
● 1. Write down the powers of 2 for each
digit.
● 2. Multiply each digit by its power of 2.
● 3. Add up all the values for the final
decimal number.
● Share your answer with the class. How
confident do you feel about your
conversion skills?
