Decode Binary Numbers

This article will show you how to decode binary numbers into alphabetical or numerical characters.

Steps

  1. Remember that in binary 1 is "on: and 0 is "off."
  2. Choose the binary number that you want to decode.
  3. Give each number a value, starting from the extreme right.
    • For example, using the number 1001001, 1=1, +0=2, +0=4, +1=8, +0=16, +0=32, +1=64.
    • The number becomes: 32+16+8+4+2+1.
  4. Cut off all values that are of 0 and add values of 1.
    • 0 values = 2,4,16,32 --> 1 values = 1+8+64=73
  5. Change the answer from its numerical form of the character to its alphabetical form by using an alphabet-number-punctuation chart. [1]
  6. Divide each of your numbers into groups of 8, and then convert them to numerical form.
    • For example, 111111110000000011111111=11111111+00000000+11111111
