1. Map the unsigned binary number's digits versus the corresponding powers of 2 that their place value represent:
213
1 212
1 211
1 210
1 29
0 28
1 27
0 26
1 25
0 24
1 23
1 22
1 21
1 20
1
2. Multiply each bit by its corresponding power of 2 and add all the terms up:
11 1101 0101 1111(2) =
(1 × 213 + 1 × 212 + 1 × 211 + 1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20)(10) =
(8 192 + 4 096 + 2 048 + 1 024 + 0 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1)(10) =
(8 192 + 4 096 + 2 048 + 1 024 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1)(10) =
15 711(10)
