SUB-TOPIC: CONVERSION OF BINARY NUMBERS TO DECIMAL NUMBERS
To express binary numbers in decimals or denaries, we write the binary number
as a sum of multiples of powers of two, or we multiply each digit by the base and
add to the next digit starting from the left.
NOTE: Any number or letter raised to the power of zero is 1
Examples:
• Convert 1111two to denary scale.

Solution:
1111two = 1 x 23 + 1 x 22 + 1x 21 + 1 x 20
=1x8+1x4+1x2+1x1
= 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15ten

• Express 11101two to decimal number

Solution:
11101two = 1 x 24 + 1 x 23 + 1 x 22 +0 x 21 + 1 x 20
= 16 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 29ten

• Convert 1111110two to a number in base ten.

Solution:
110two = 1 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 0 x 20
= 4 + 2 + 0 = 8ten
