Converting to and from

base 10 to other base

numbers (2 methods)
Converting from binary (base 2) to decimal (base 10)
100112 = (1 x 24) + (0 x 23) + (0 x 22) + (1 x 21) + (1 x 20)
= 1910

Converting from base 5 to decimal (base 10)

21325 = (2 x 53) + (1 x 52) + (3 x 51) + (2 x 50)
=2925

Converting Decimal to base 4: Method 1

1004= (1*64) + (2*16) + (1*4) + (0*1)
= (1*43) + (2*42) + (1*41) + (0*40)
=12104

Decimal to any base: Method 2

Keep dividing the decimal number by the base number you wish to convert to and keep the
remainders (R). Stop dividing until the quotient equals 0. Read the answer upwards (down to
up) in the remainder column.
