Optional sign; binary digits only, with at most 64 fractional bits.

Formula

For k fractional bits, value = signed integer formed by all bits / 2^k.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Conversion is exact and includes trailing fractional zeroes. No repeating binary notation, exponent notation or two’s-complement interpretation.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Binary number: 101.101

101.101₂=4+1+1/2+1/8=5.625=45/8.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter binary number. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

For k fractional bits, value = signed integer formed by all bits / 2^k.. Conversion is exact and includes trailing fractional zeroes. No repeating binary notation, exponent notation or two’s-complement interpretation.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
