Math Problem Statement

Convert the following base 2 numeral to a base 10 numeral: 110001

Solution

To convert the binary number 1100012110001_2 into its decimal (base 10) equivalent, we can break it down by assigning powers of 2 to each digit.

Starting from the rightmost digit: 1100012=1×25+1×24+0×23+0×22+0×21+1×20110001_2 = 1 \times 2^5 + 1 \times 2^4 + 0 \times 2^3 + 0 \times 2^2 + 0 \times 2^1 + 1 \times 2^0

Now, let's calculate each term: 1×25=321 \times 2^5 = 32 1×24=161 \times 2^4 = 16 0×23=00 \times 2^3 = 0 0×22=00 \times 2^2 = 0 0×21=00 \times 2^1 = 0 1×20=11 \times 2^0 = 1

Now, sum all the results: 32+16+0+0+0+1=4932 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 49

Thus, the decimal (base 10) equivalent of 1100012110001_2 is 4949.
