Example Example
Convert the binary number 10011 to decimal. Convert the decimal number 35 to binary.
Solution Solution
Write out the bits and their weights. Multiply the bit by Number /2 Remainder

its corresponding weight and record the result. At the 35 17 1

Example
Exercise
Transform the fraction 0.4 to a binary of 6 bits.
Solution Convert (28.8625)10 to binary -- the fractional part is coded on 8 bits
We will start with factional part:
Multiply the number continuously by 2 and • 0.8625*2= 1.725= 1 + 0.725
extract the integer part as the binary digit. You • 0.725*2= 1.45 = 1 + 0.45

can never get the exact binary representation. • 0.45*2= 0.9 = 0 + 0.9
• 0.9*2= 1.8= 1+ 0.8
Stop when you have 6 bits. • 0.8*2= 1.6= 1+ 0.6
• 0.6*2= 1.2 = 1+ 0.2
• 0.2*2= 0.4 = 0+ 0.4
0.4 è 0.8 è 1.6 è 1.2 è 0.4 è 0.8 è 1.6 • 0.4*2= 0.8 = 0 + 0.8

 Ex: Converting Binary to Octal

• We will convert the integer part now:

(28)10 = (11100) 2 • Mark groups of three (from right)
• Convert each group
• Finally the conversion is:
• (28.8625)10 = (11100. 11011100 … )2 10101011 10 101 011

Octal to Decimal conv Hexadecimal to Decimal conv

What is the decimal equivalent of the octal What is the decimal equivalent of the
number 642? hexadecimal number DEF?

2 x 8º = 2 x 1 = 2 F x 16º = 15 x 1 = 15
+ 4 x 81 = 4 x 8 = 32 + E x 161 = 14 x 16 = 224
+ 6 x 82 = 6 x 64 = 384 + D x 162 = 13 x 256 = 3328
= 3567 in base 10
= 418 in base 10
Remember, the digits in base 16 are

Convert (2607.565 )10 = (???)16

Start with the integer part :

Quotient Remainder Coefficient

(2607)10 / 16 162 15 (F) a0
162/16 10 2 a1
10/16 10 (A) a2

(2607)10 = (A2F)16
