Number System Conversions
-
Binary to Decimal:
- Each binary digit (bit) is multiplied by 2^x, where x is the position of the bit (starting from 0)
- The results are added together to get the decimal equivalent
-
Decimal to Binary:
- Divide the decimal number by 2 and keep track of the remainders
- The remainders, in reverse order, form the binary equivalent
-
Hexadecimal to Decimal:
- Convert each hexadecimal digit to its decimal equivalent (A=10, B=11, ..., F=15)
- Combine the decimal equivalents to get the final decimal number
