Hi there! Starting at the far right we compute anything that has a 1 value as 2 to the power of that spot and add it together. The first spot has a power of 0.

In this example it would be:

  • 2 to the power of 0 = 1
  • 2 to the power of 1 = 2
  • 2 to the power of 2 = 4

So when we add all those together we get a grand total of the base10 value of 7.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
