Math Problem Statement

Convert the binary number 001111100111 to denary (decimal).

Solution

To convert the binary number 001111100111 to a decimal (denary) number, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the binary digits and assign place values (powers of 2).

Each binary digit corresponds to a power of 2, starting from 202^0 on the right.

The binary number is 001111100111, which we can rewrite with powers of 2:

Binary Digit001111100111
Powers of 22112^{11}2102^{10}292^9282^8272^7262^6252^5242^4232^3222^2212^1202^0

Step 2: Multiply each binary digit by its corresponding power of 2.

  • 0×211=00 \times 2^{11} = 0
  • 0×210=00 \times 2^{10} = 0
  • 1×29=5121 \times 2^9 = 512
  • 1×28=2561 \times 2^8 = 256
  • 1×27=1281 \times 2^7 = 128
  • 1×26=641 \times 2^6 = 64
  • 1×25=321 \times 2^5 = 32
  • 0×24=00 \times 2^4 = 0
  • 0×23=00 \times 2^3 = 0
  • 1×22=41 \times 2^2 = 4
  • 1×21=21 \times 2^1 = 2
  • 1×20=11 \times 2^0 = 1

Step 3: Add up the results.

512+256+128+64+32+4+2+1=999512 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 999

Final Answer:

The binary number 001111100111 converts to 999 in denary (decimal).
