Step-by-step
- Confirm that each input contains only binary digits, 0 and 1.
- Enter the two binary values into the calculator.
- Choose the arithmetic operation you need.
- Calculate the result and check its binary representation.
- Convert the result to decimal if you need an easier cross-check.
Binary place values
From right to left, binary positions represent powers of two: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on. This place-value system is why binary values look different from their decimal equivalents.
Validate the input base
Digits such as 2 through 9 are not valid in a standard binary numeral. If your input includes them, check whether the value is actually decimal, octal, or hexadecimal.
Worked example
1011 in binary is 11 in decimal (8 + 2 + 1), and 110 is 6. Adding them gives 17, which is 10001 in binary. Converting to decimal is a quick way to check any binary calculation.
