There are two basic ways to convert binary
numbers to decimal numbers. The flowchart in Figure
shows one
example. Binary numbers can also be converted to decimal numbers by multiplying the binary digits by the base number of the system, which is Base 2, and raised to the exponent of its position. Example: Convert the binary number 01110000 to a decimal number.
The number converter activity will provide more practice.
