Cheat Sheet
- Understanding Positional Value -
At the core of binary to decimal practice is positional notation: each digit in a binary number represents a power of two. For example, 1011₂ equals 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 1×2❰, which sums to 11₀ (Source: MIT OpenCourseWare).
- Division-by-2 Method for Decimal to Binary -
In decimal to binary practice, repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and record remainders to build the binary result from bottom to top. For instance, converting 13₀: 13÷2→6 r1, 6÷2→3 r0, 3÷2→1 r1, 1÷2→0 r1 gives 1101₂ (Source: Khan Academy).
- Quick Bit-Weight Table Mnemonic -
Create a simple table of bit weights (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …) and use the phrase "My Big Cat Always Deals" to remember 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 sequentially. Match each binary digit to that weight to convert fast: 10010₂ → 16 + 2 = 18₀ (Source: University of Cambridge).
- Spotting Common Binary Patterns -
Memorize frequent patterns like 1111₂ = 15₀ or 10000₂ = 16₀ to speed up binary conversion practice problems. Recognizing these building blocks reduces calculation steps and boosts conversion speed (Source: IEEE Computation Journal).
- Applying Conversions in Real-World Contexts -
Link your binary conversion skills to computer memory addressing and network masks, for instance, IPv4's 255.255.255.0 is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000₂, illustrating practical relevance (Source: NIST).
