Binary number double the number to be converted, record if the result is at least 1, and then throw away the integer part. For example, formula_10, in binary, is: Thus the repeating decimal fraction 0... is equivalent to the repeating binary fraction 0... . Or for example, 0.1, in binary, is: This is also a repeating binary fraction 0.0... . It may come as a surprise that terminating decimal fractions can have repeating expansions in binary. It is for this reason that many are surprised to discover that 0.1 + ... + 0.1, (10 additions) differs from 1 in floating point arithmetic.
Binary number the corresponding binary digits: To convert a binary number into its hexadecimal equivalent, divide it into groups of four bits. If the number of bits isn't a multiple of four, simply insert extra 0 bits at the left (called padding). For example: To convert a hexadecimal number into its decimal equivalent, multiply the decimal equivalent of each hexadecimal digit by the corresponding power of 16 and add the resulting values: Binary is also easily converted to the octal numeral system, since octal uses a radix of 8, which is a power of two (namely, 2, so it takes exactly three
