Binary Calculator
Perform binary arithmetic operations
About this Tool
The Binary Calculator performs arithmetic operations on binary (base-2) numbers and displays results in multiple formats: binary, decimal, and hexadecimal. Binary is the fundamental number system used by computers, making this calculator essential for computer science, programming, and digital electronics.
Common Use Cases
Computer Science Education
Learn and practice binary arithmetic, understand how computers perform calculations, and verify homework answers for binary operations.
Programming & Debugging
Calculate binary values for bitwise operations, verify bit manipulation results, or convert between number systems during debugging.
Digital Electronics
Design and analyze digital circuits, calculate logic gate outputs, or work with binary-coded decimal (BCD) values.
Network Engineering
Perform subnet calculations, work with IP addresses in binary form, or calculate network masks and ranges.
Pro Tips
- !
Binary Input Only
Enter only 0s and 1s. The calculator automatically filters out invalid characters to prevent errors in binary calculations.
- !
Multiple Result Formats
Results show in binary (base-2), decimal (base-10), and hexadecimal (base-16) simultaneously, making it easy to verify conversions and compare formats.
- !
Division Behavior
Binary division performs integer division (floor division), discarding any remainder. For example, 1011 ÷ 10 = 101 (11 ÷ 2 = 5).

Understanding Results
Binary results can be long. The hexadecimal output provides a more compact representation of the same value.
