=Converting a value to decimal=
+
A value in a given base may be converted to its decimal equivalent value by summing the following equation for each column of the number:<br>
+
V x B<sup>C</sup><br>
+
where C=column (least significant is column 0), B=base, and V=value for column C.<br>
+
For example, binary value 101 would be converted to decimal using the following equation:<br>
+
1x2<sup>2</sup> + 0x2<sup>1</sup> + 1x2<sup>0</sup><br>
+
which gives: 4 + 0 + 1 = 5
