Last Updated : 16 Jul, 2026

The binary number system is a number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is also called the base-2 number system.

Example 1: Convert the Decimal Number (98)10 into Binary.
Solution: 

Convert Decimal Number (98) into Binary

Thus, Binary Number for (98)10 is equal to (1100010)2

Example 2: Convert the Binary Number (1010101)2 to a decimal Number.
Solution: 

Given Binary Number, (1010101)2

= (1 × 20) + (0 × 21) + (1 × 22) + (0 × 23) + (1 × 24) + (0 × 25) + (1 ×26)
= 1 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 64
= (85)10

Thus, Binary Number (1010101)2 is equal to (85)10 in decimal system.

Example 3: Divide (11110)2 by (101)2.
Solution:

Divide binary numbers (11110) by (101)

Example 4: Add (11011)2 and (10100)2.
Solution:

Add binary numbers (11011) and (10100)

Hence, (11011)2 + (10100)2 =  (101111)2

Example 5: Subtract (11010)2 and (10110)2.
Solution: 

Subtract binar numbers (11010) and (10110)

Hence, (11010)2 - (10110)2 = (00100)2

Example 6: Multiply (1110)2 and (1001)2.
Solution: 

Multiply binary numbers (1110) and (1001)

Thus, (1110)2 × (1001)2 = (1111110)2

Example 7: Convert (28)10 into a binary number.

Solution:

Convert (28) into a binary number.

Hence, (28)10 is expressed as (11100)2.

Example 8: Convert (10011)2 to a decimal number.
Solution:

The given binary number is (10011)2.

(10011)2 = (1 × 24) + (0 × 23) + (0 × 22) + (1 × 21) + (1 × 20)

= 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = (19)10

Hence, the binary number (10011)2 is expressed as (19)10.
