1010 Binary to Decimal

1010 binary to decimal conversion provides the detailed information on what is binary (1010)2 in decimal number system, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the binary (base-2) number 1010 to its decimal (base-10) equivalent.

(1010)₂ binary in decimal is equal to:
1010₂ = (1 x 2³) + (0 x 2²) + (1 x 2¹) + (0 x 2⁰)
= 8 + 0 + 2 + 0,
= 10
1010₂ = 10₁₀

Hence,
1010 binary to decimal is 10.

where,
1010₂ is the given binary number,
2 in 1010₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system,
10 is the decimal equivalent of the binary number 1010,
10 in 10₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system.

What is 1010 binary in decimal?

step 2 Arrange the given binary number 1010 as like the below:
= (1 x 2³) + (0 x 2²) + (1 x 2¹) + (0 x 2⁰),

step 3 Resolve the powers of 2 in the above equation:
= 8 + 0 + 2 + 0,

step 3 Simplify the above equation further:
= 8 + 0 + 2 + 0,
= 10
(1010)₂ = (10)₁₀

Therefore,
the decimal equivalent of the binary number 1010 is 10

Important Notes: (1010)2 in Decimal
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the binary number 1010 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 1010, 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.

The right most digit in the given base-2 number 1010 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
The left most digit in the given base-2 number 1010 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
The LSB of 1010 should be multiplied with 2⁰.
The MSB of 1010 should be multiplied with 2^{(no. of bits - 1)}.
