If you thought complicated formulas were necessary for binary to decimal conversion, you can breathe a sigh of relief. To convert from binary number system to decimal number system, you really only need to know three things. First, remember that the ones and zeros that make up binary can be thought of as the answer to a yes or no question. One for “yes”, and zero for “no”. Next, if you have an understanding of the powers of 2, this will be a breeze. The last step is basic addition.

The (Super) Powers of 2

We can thank the powers of 2 for making this so easy. If you’re not familiar with them, having a table for reference will make your job even easier. You won’t need an extensive table unless you’re converting very large binary numbers. For example, if the binary number you want to convert is three digits long, you’ll only need the first three powers of 2 (20 , 2Âč, and 2ÂČ).

Let’s look at a three-digit binary number, 101.

Convert Binary to Decimal! (1)

To convert 101 in binary to decimal, we’ll must use the first three powers of 2. The most straightforward way to visualize this is to write your binary number, and above it, fill in powers of 2.Just remember to start from 20 on the right, and work your way left until you’ve run out of binary digits.

Convert Binary to Decimal! (2)

We have 1, 0, and 1, and a power of 2 for each binary digit.We start from the rightmost digit, which is the Least Significant Bit (LSB): look at 20; what’s underneath it? A one. This indicates we will use 20 in the decimal output.

Now, let’s work on the next leftmost digit. What’s under 2Âč? A zero. This means we will not use 2Âč. And under 2ÂČ? Another one. To find out what 101 is in decimal, we’ll need 20 and 2ÂČ.

Convert Binary to Decimal! (3)

The rest is simple – 20 and 2ÂČ are 1 and 4, respectively. Now just add 1 + 4. The binary number 101 is the decimal 5.

Just remember to always proceed from right to left, or from the Least Significant Bit (LSB, the rightmost digit) to the Most Significant Bit (MSB, the leftmost digit).

Convert Binary to Decimal! (4)

It’s incredibly easy once you can think of 1 as a “yes”, and 0 as a “no”. Bigger numbers work in the same way. Let’s throw some extra zeros into the mix and use 100001. It’s long, but the method is identical. We just need 6 powers of 2 this time; one for each digit in the binary number.

Convert Binary to Decimal! (5)

Which powers of 2 correspond to a one? Only 26 and 20. Now we add those powers of 2 together. 100001 as a decimal is 33.

Just to prove how simple converting binary to decimal is, let’s look at an even longer binary figure: 11001100. We’ll need to go all the way to 27 for this conversion.

Convert Binary to Decimal! (6)

All we need to do is add the powers of 2 we used. Remember, we only “use” them when they correspond to a one. In this case, we need to add 128, 64, 8, and 4 to find the decimal. Everything else is indicated by a zero, so we don’t need to include them! 11001100 in binary is the decimal 204.

If you want to try it out for yourself, you can use the binary to decimal calculator on this page to check your work. Practice a few times, and you’ll be speaking the language of computers with ease.
