What is the decimal equivalent of a given 8-bit binary number?
To find the decimal equivalent of an 8-bit binary number, you can use the positional numbering system. Each bit in the binary number represents a power of 2, from right to left. Starting from the rightmost bit, you assign a value of 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, and so on, doubling the value for each position. Then, you sum up the values of the positions where the binary digit is 1. This sum is the decimal equivalent of the 8-bit binary number.
