What is 110 as a decimal?

Answer 1

11

Answer 2

The person below explains binary base well, but I think they made a mistake of starting the base at the value of "1"; when all the bases should start at the value of "0". So in base 2 it goes from 0,1,2,4,8,16,32... (it doubles with every increment except when at zero). Now see the answer below and the value of 110 should be 3 (110 =1X2 + 1X1 + 0X0 = 3 ≠ 6.

Well, 110 IS a decimal number. However, assuming "110" is a binary or base 2 number, then 110 = 1x4 + 1x2 + 0x1 = 6. When stating a number not in base ten or decimal form, the base needs to be stated. So you would say "110 binary" = "6 decimal". Binary is usually considered a computer term as they all 'compute' using binary numbers. However there are other related bases used for Human convenience such as "octal, base 8", and "hexadecimal, base 16". Hexadecimal is the preferred base as it represents a more "shorthand" method of specifying numbers compatible with computer semantics. An example: the number 65535 decimal = 1111111111111111 which is stored as two bytes as binary 11111111, 11111111 or 16 bits. In base 16, hexadecimal, this is more easily written as "FFFF" or more formally in programming as "0XFFFF" where the "0X" prefix denotes hexadecimal or base 16. Since one byte = 8 bits = 256 numbers, and 4 bits = 16 numbers, one byte uses two hexadecimal digits with a value of "00" through "FF" which is zero through 255 decimal, or 256 total numbers. As far as "base", binary is base 2 meaning only two digits are used: 0 & 1. Decimal is base 10 and means ten digits are used, zero through nine. Hexadecimal is base 16 and means 16 digits are used. However, since we only have ten digits in our numeric decimal system, letters are used as additional digits and the sequence used is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A.B.C.D.E.F allowing 16 "digits" instead of the normal 10. Always specify the base of a number if it is not decimal so people know what the number really is.
