Question 1

How do you convert binary to decimal?

Accepted Answer

Each binary digit represents a power of 2, starting from the right at 2^0. Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 2 and sum the results. For example, binary 1101 = 1x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 1x1 = 13 in decimal.

Question 2

What is the binary number system?

Accepted Answer

Binary (base-2) is a number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is the fundamental language of computers, where each digit (bit) represents an on/off state in electronic circuits.

Question 3

What is hexadecimal?

Accepted Answer

Hexadecimal (base-16) uses 16 symbols: 0-9 and A-F (where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15). It is widely used in computing because each hex digit maps to exactly 4 binary bits, making it a compact way to represent binary data.

Question 4

What is the largest number this converter supports?

Accepted Answer

This converter supports numbers up to 2^32 (4,294,967,295 in decimal, FFFFFFFF in hex, 11111111111111111111111111111111 in binary), which is the maximum value for a 32-bit unsigned integer.
