I remember doing a quick way of converting binary to deanery (I think) where it has something to do with halving the deanery number and ignoring the decimal place. (Or sommet along those lines) I know this is very vague but if anyone can tell me the method (Or any quick method) I would appreciate it. Thanks :)

I learned to count on your fingers, it is actually quite easy and helps to learn binary. You can count upto 31 on a single hand!

 

A 1 represents a open finger, and a 0 represents a closed finger. I start with my lelft pinky finger for the left most digit, and work my way left.

1: 00001

2: 00010

3: 00011

4: 00100

5: 00101

6: 00110

7: 00111

 

 

 

The commonly taught way of converting from base 2 to base 10 is this method

 

16  8   4   2   1

 0   0   1   0   1

 

4 + 1 = 5

 

 

If you are adding two binary numbers, Its easier to keep them in binary.

 

 

1 0 1 0 0   +

 

0 0 1 1 1  =

 

1 1 0 1 1

 

 

 

To convert from Base 10 (Decimal) to Base 2 (Binary)

 

I would count up on my fingers for small numbers, but for big numbers the quickest why that I learned is outlined in this video: 

 

 

Okay, thanks :)
