Decimal to Binary

Decimal number is a number expressed in the base 10 numeral system. Decimal number's digits have 10
symbols: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Each digit of a decimal number counts a power of 10.
Decimal number example:
65310 = 6×102+5×101+3×100
Binary number is a number expressed in the base 2 numeral system. Binary number's digits have 2 symbols:
zero (0) and one (1). Each digit of a binary number counts a power of 2.
Binary number example:
11012 = 1×23+1×22+0×21+1×20 = 1310
How to convert decimal to binary
Conversion steps:
1. Divide the number by 2.
2. Get the integer quotient for the next iteration.
3. Get the remainder for the binary digit.
4. Repeat the steps until the quotient is equal to 0.

Binary to Decimal
How to convert binary to decimal
For binary number with n digits:
dn-1 ... d3 d2 d1 d0
The decimal number is equal to the sum of binary digits (d n) times their power of 2 (2n):
decimal = d0×20 + d1×21 + d2×22 + ...
Example
Find the decimal value of 1110012:

binary number: 1 1 1 0 0 1

power of 2: 25 24 23 22 21 20

1110012 = 1⋅25+1⋅24+1⋅23+0⋅22+0⋅21+1⋅20 = 5710

Octal to Decimal
How to convert from octal to decimal
A regular decimal number is the sum of the digits multiplied with 10 n.
Example #1
137 in base 10 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 10 n:
13710 = 1×102+3×101+7×100 = 100+30+7
Octal numbers are read the same way, but each digit counts 8 n instead of 10n.
Multiply each digit of the hex number with its corresponding 8 n.
Example #2
37 in base 8 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 8 n:
378 = 3×81+7×80 = 24+7 = 31
Example #3
7014 in base 8 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding power of 8:
70148 = 7×83+0×82+1×81+4×80= 3584+0+8+4 = 3596

Hex to decimal
How to convert from hex to decimal
A regular decimal number is the sum of the digits multiplied with power of 10.
137 in base 10 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding power of 10:
13710 = 1×102+3×101+7×100 = 100+30+7
Hex numbers are read the same way, but each digit counts power of 16 instead of power of 10.
For hex number with n digits:
dn-1 ... d3 d2 d1 d0
Multiply each digit of the hex number with its corresponding power of 16 and sum:
decimal = dn-1×16n-1 + ... + d3×163 + d2×162 + d1×161+d0×160
Example #1
3B in base 16 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 16 n:
3B16 = 3×161+11×160 = 48+11 = 5910
Example #2
E7A9 in base 16 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 16 n:
E7A916 = 14×163+7×162+10×161+9×160 = 57344+1792+160+9 = 5930510
