1. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:
219
1 218
1 217
1 216
1 215
0 214
0 213
0 212
0 211
1 210
1 29
1 28
1 27
0 26
0 25
0 24
0 23
1 22
1 21
1 20

2. Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add all the terms up:
1111 0000 1111 0000 1111(2) =
(1 × 219 + 1 × 218 + 1 × 217 + 1 × 216 + 0 × 215 + 0 × 214 + 0 × 213 + 0 × 212 + 1 × 211 + 1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20)(10) =
(524 288 + 262 144 + 131 072 + 65 536 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 048 + 1 024 + 512 + 256 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1)(10) =
(524 288 + 262 144 + 131 072 + 65 536 + 2 048 + 1 024 + 512 + 256 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1)(10) =
986 895(10)
Conclusion:
