Convert Into Decimal Number

Complement of a Number   Number System   Types of Number system

      In our previous article, we had discussed about different types of Number System. Now, In this article we can easily understand how to convert Any Number in to Decimal Number System.

Convert Binary to Decimal – we convert binary to decimal by multiplying increasing power of two through right to left from decimal. If there is no decimal, we should start from the last digit and multiplying by increasing power of 2 up to first digit. If decimal occurs, then start from the first digit and multiply by decreasing power of 2 up to the last digit. Let’s understand with an example.

Ex 1. (110111)2

Sol. (1*25) + (1*24) + (0*23) + (1*22) + (1*21) + (1*20)

        (1*32) + (1*16) + (0*8) + (1*4) + (1*2) + (1*1)

        32 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1

        (55)10                   Ans.

Ex 2. (1001.01)2

Sol. (1*23) + (0*22) + (0*21) + (1*20) + (0*2-1) + (1*2-2)

        (1*8) + (0*4) + (0*2) + (1*1) + (0*0.5) + (2*0.25)

        8 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 0.50

        (9.50)10              Ans.

Note: If Binary Number contains decimal point then after decimal point we have to start multiply by 2-1 not 20 and so on.

Convert Octal To Decimal – This also works in the same way, only difference is that we should multiply by 8 in place of 2. Because the base of octal is 8. Let’s understand with an example.

Ex 3. (763.4)8

Sol. (7*82) + (7*81) + (7*80) + (4*8-1)

        (7*64) + (7*8) + (7*1) + (7*0.125)

        448 + 56 + 7 + 0.875

        (511.875)10                           Ans.

Convert Hexadecimal To Decimal – This also works in the same way, only difference is that we should multiply by 8 in place of 2. Because the base of hexadecimal is 16. Let’s understand with an example.

Ex 4. (B65F)16

Sol. (11*163) + (6*162) + (5*161) + (15*160)

        (11* 4096) + (6*256) + (5*16) + (15*1)

        45056 + 1536 + 80 + 15

     (46687)10             Ans.

Note: In Ex 4. Here we use some alphabets as well as digits because hexadecimal has a base 16 and it takes digits through 0 to 9 and alphabets through A to F. So it takes total 10 digits and 6 alphabets in hexadecimal Number System. If you don’t understand how to take alphabets as well as digits in Ex 4. Don’t worry we will describe in detail in upcoming articles.

Trick: Any Number which you want to convert into decimal, multiply by it with its corresponding base as we had already seen in above examples.

Exercise:

Convert the following Number in to Decimal

1.       (00101.11)2

2.       (1111.11)2

3.       (421.21)5

4.       (7633.54)8

5.       (B6A54)16

WORLD  HERITAGE  SITES IN  INDIA PART- 1  Why did UNESCO start the World Heritage Centre? The UNESCO World Heritage Centre was born by merging two separate movements. The first was a movement for the preservation of cultural sites. The second was a movement that dealt with the conservation of nature. The ball for the first movement was set rolling with the decision to build the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. This dam would have flooded the valley in which one of the treasures of ancient Egypt- the Abu Simbel temple- wsa located. In 1959 UNESCO launched a campaign to safeguard these temples. It was a joint effort of 50 countries, and it led to many other similar projects to safeguard rare treasures. It was the United States that led the movement to combine the conservation of natural wonders along with cultural sites.  World Heritage Fund- If 1972, the World Heritage Fund was created. Its aim is to assist nations in identifying, preserving, and promoting World Heritage...

Square of the number

     This article is used to find out the square of  a number in a short period of time compare to normal maths. It increase the speed of your calculations.  The answer obtained by multiplying a number by itself is the square of that number. Example :- 6×6= 36 which is the square of 6.                          8×8= 64 which is the square of 8.      1.   Square of numbers ending in 5 :- Example 1-: 35 2 =   ? Step 1:- Multiply the first part by the first part plus 1: 3 ×(3+1) =3×4 =12 Step 2:- Write the number 25 next to the result from step 1: 35 2 = 12_25 = 1225 Example 2-: (in 3 digits) 125 2 =   ? Step 1:- Multiply the first part by the first part plus 1: 12 ×(12+1) =12×13 =156 Step 2:- Write the number 25 next to the result from step 1: 125 2 = 156_25 = 15625 Example 3-: (in decimal numbers) 9.5 2 =     ? Step 1:- M...
