The document discusses how to convert binary numbers to decimal numbers. It explains that binary numbers are converted to decimal by multiplying each bit by its place value (2n) and summing the results. Examples are provided of converting various binary numbers like 101, 1010, and 10101 to their decimal equivalents of 5, 10, and 21 respectively. The document also gives an example of converting the binary fraction 0.10101 to the decimal 0.65625.

We can convert a binary number to its decimal
value
By multiplying each binary digit with its position
weight.
First mark the bit position and then give the
weight of each bit depending on its position.

6. Conversion of binary to decimal (contd)
The binary number in spread form = 1 1 0 1
Bit position from right hand side = 4th 3rd 2nd 1st
The sum of the weights of all bits gives its equivalent
number.
1x23+1x22+1x21+1x20
8+4+0+1=(13)10

7. Convert the binary number 101 to its
decimal equivalent
The number in the spread form = 1 0 1
Bit position from the right side = 3rd 2nd 1st

8. Convert the binary number 101 to its
decimal equivalent (contd)
The weight of each bit is assigned and added
together to give decimal equivalent.
1 0 1 (binary number) = 1*22 + 0*21 + 1*20
= 4+ 0 + 1
= 5 (decimal number).

9. Convert the binary number 1010 to its
decimal equivalent
The number in the spread form = 1 0 1 0
Bit position from the right side = 4th 3rd 2nd 1st

10. Convert the binary number 1010 to its
decimal equivalent (contd)
1 0 1 0 (binary number) = 1*23 + 0*22 + 1*21 + + 0*20
=8+0+2+0
= 10 (decimal number).
