Here is how to convert 101011 binary to decimal:

Step 1) Note that there are 6 digits in 101011. That means there are 6 positions - the first position is the digit furthest to the right.

Step 2) Multiply the number in the first position by 2⁰ (=1), the second position by 2¹ (=2), the third position by 2² (=4) and so on. (See Table 1 for longer list.) Here is the math for the 6 digits in 101011:

1 x 1 = 1
1 x 2 = 2
0 x 4 = 0
1 x 8 = 8
0 x 16 = 0
1 x 32 = 32

Step 3) Finally, add up the answers from Step 2 to get the answer to 101011 binary converted to decimal:

1 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 32 = 43

Once again, the answer is as follows:

101011 = 43

Table 1:
Here is the list of what you multiply each position in a binary number by to get the decimal:

Pos 1 = 2⁰ = 1
Pos 2 = 2¹ = 2
Pos 3 = 2² = 4
Pos 4 = 2³ = 8
Pos 5 = 2⁴ = 16
Pos 6 = 2⁵ = 32
Pos 7 = 2⁶ = 64
Pos 8 = 2⁷ = 128
Pos 9 = 2⁸ = 256
Pos 10 = 2⁹ = 512
Pos 11 = 2¹⁰ = 1024
Pos 12 = 2¹¹ = 2048
Pos 13 = 2¹² = 4096
Pos 14 = 2¹³ = 8192
Pos 15 = 2¹⁴ = 16384
Pos 16 = 2¹⁵ = 32768

Remember, the first position is on the right and last position is on the left.
