About the Binary Calculator

The Binary Calculator converts numbers between binary and decimal and performs binary arithmetic such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Enter a value, and the result appears together with its equivalent in the other base.

The tool uses positional notation for binary to decimal conversion: it multiplies each bit by its power of 2 and sums the results. For decimal to binary, it applies repeated division by 2 and reads the remainders from bottom to top. Arithmetic follows the same carry and borrow rules as base 10, only with powers of 2. Tip: group long binary results into sets of four bits from the right to read them accurately.

  • Type a number into the binary or decimal field.
  • Press calculate to convert the value to the other base.
  • Pick an operation, enter a second number, and view the computed result.
