Important Notes: (10101000)2 in Decimal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the binary number 10101000 into a base-10 number.

The sum of increasing power of 2 (from 0 to number of bits minus 1) for each bit of given binary number 10101000, that is 2⁰ multiplied with least significant digit (LSD) to 2(no. of bits - 1) multiplied with the most significant digit (MSD) of the given base-2 number provides the equivalent decimal number.

1. The right most digit in the given base-2 number 10101000 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The left most digit in the given base-2 number 10101000 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The LSB of 10101000 should be multiplied with 2⁰.
4. The MSB of 10101000 should be multiplied with 2^{(no. of bits - 1)}.
