Signed binary 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101(2) to an integer in decimal system (in base 10) = ?
1. Is this a positive or a negative number?
In a signed binary, first bit (the leftmost) is reserved for the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive. This bit does not count when calculating the absolute value.
0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101 is the binary representation of a positive integer, on 32 bits (4 Bytes).
2. Construct the unsigned binary number, exclude the first bit (the leftmost), that is reserved for the sign:
0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101 = 000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101
3. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:

0 228
0 227
0 226
0 225

4. Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add all the terms up:
000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101(2) =
(0 × 230 + 0 × 229 + 0 × 228 + 0 × 227 + 0 × 226 + 0 × 225 + 0 × 224 + 0 × 223 + 0 × 222 + 0 × 221 + 1 × 220 + 0 × 219 + 0 × 218 + 0 × 217 + 0 × 216 + 0 × 215 + 0 × 214 + 0 × 213 + 0 × 212 + 0 × 211 + 0 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 1 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 1 × 20)(10) =
(0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 048 576 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 512 + 0 + 128 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1)(10) =
(1 048 576 + 512 + 128 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1)(10) =
1 049 301(10)
5. If needed, adjust the sign of the integer number by the first digit (leftmost) of the signed binary:
0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101(2) = 1 049 301(10)
Number 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101(2) converted from signed binary to an integer in decimal system (in base 10):
0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0010 1101 0101(2) = 1 049 301(10)
Spaces used to group digits: for binary, by 4; for decimal, by 3.

First bit (the leftmost) is reserved for the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive. This bit does not count when calculating the absolute value.
Entered binary number length must be: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 - otherwise extra bits on 0 will be added in front (to the left).
