[[Image:convert-bin-decimal.png|thumb|right|350px|Performing a '''binary''' to '''decimal''' conversion.]]
When converting '''binary''' numbers to '''decimal''' numbers, perform the following steps:<br><br>
# Write down the binary number.<br># Starting from the right-side, draw '''L''''s below the binary number moving to the left (refer to diagram on right).<br># Starting on the rightrightmost "'''L'''", multiply the number value (placeholder) by '''2''' to the power of zero.<br># Repeat Continually repeat step #3, but moving to the leftleftwards, but increase increasing the power of 2 by 1 each time(refer to diagram on right).<br>
# Add up the results to obtain the decimal value equivalent.<br>
<br><br>
'''NOTE: To convert other numbering system ''octal'' and ''hexadecimal'' numbers to '''decimal''', replace the number <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">2</span> <br>(in red in the diagram to the right) with <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">8</span> (for octal) or <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">16</span> (for hexadecimal)'''.
