How to Convert 11111 to Base 10?

To convert the binary number 11111 to base 10, we need to understand how binary numbers work. Each digit in a binary number (which is base 2) represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit, which is the least significant bit.

In the case of 11111, we can break it down as follows:

• 1 * 2⁴ = 1 * 16 = 16
• 1 * 2³ = 1 * 8 = 8
• 1 * 2² = 1 * 4 = 4
• 1 * 2¹ = 1 * 2 = 2
• 1 * 2⁰ = 1 * 1 = 1

Now, we add all these values together:

16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 31

Therefore, the binary number 11111 is equal to 31 in base 10.
