Much the same way as you do for decimal numbers. The rules are just the same, bearing in mind that the positions in a long number represent powers of 2 instead of powers of 10, so the maximum digit in any position is 1 instead of 9. The the right of the "point" they are "halves, quarters, eighths," etc instead of "tenths, hundredths, thousandths" etc So Binary 101.11 is 4+0+1+1/2+1/4 = 5.75 in decimal. In any base the number "10" represents the base ... in decimal, 10 means ten, and in binary, 10 means two.

What does 'Zero' and 'one' are the only numbers that are written the same in any base mean?

This refers to numbers written in base-2, base-3, etc. The lowest number that can be used as a base for such an "base n" calculation is 2. The first few numbers in binary are as follows (left: base-10; right: base 2): 0 = 0 1 = 1 2 = 10 3 = 11 4 = 100 As you can see, starting from the number 2, in base-2 it is written differently.


Why do computers and calculators utilize the base 2?

Computers and calculators utilize the base 2 because it is easier to program binary numbers (base 2) into the computer than decimal numbers (base 10).


What is the difference of binary and decimal numbers?

-- The decimal system (base-10) uses 10 digits to write all numbers. -- The binary system (base-2) uses 2 digits to write all numbers.


Why is ten always the base for scientific notation?

It's probably in base ten because we use base ten for all our OTHER work in numbers as well. We learn to write numbers in base ten when in elementary school, and use base ten throughout our lives even if we aren't scientists or mathematicians or students or professionals who need to use scientific notation. So keeping scientific notation in base ten makes it easier for everyone to learn and read.

What mathematical system uses base 2 instead of base 10?

It is called the binary system. It uses only 2 numbers. The numbers are "0" and "1" This is a computer language. Base 10 is our regular number system... consisting of 10 numbers from 1-9 including 0


What is1000 plus 1000 if you work in base 1?

There's no such thing as 'base 1'. The smallest possible base for writing numbers is 2.If your '1000' and '1000' are already in base 2, then their sum is '10000'.If they're the common decimal numbers "one thousand" and you want the sum "two thousand"written in base 2, then it's '11111010000'.


What word describes a number system with base 2?

How do I convert Binary numbers to decimal numbers?

By adding the value of the digits. Base 10 places increase by powers of 10. Base 2 places increase by powers of 2. 2^0 = 1 2^1 = 2 2^2 = 4 2^3 = 8 and so on. A base 2 number like 1101 would have one 1, one 4 and one 8. The base 10 equivalent is 13.
