1101 base 2 is 13 in base 10. any windows calculator will compute that for you. just open the calculator through the start menu, then once its open, go to view, then click scientific. there you can type in numbers in base 2,8,10, and 16 and it will convert it for you. in base 10, every digit of the number represents a power of 10, the first few powers of ten are 1,10,100,1000,... this is very familiar. not so familiar are the first few powers of 2; 1,2,4,8,16,32,.... each digit represents one of those numbers. so in base 10, 1101 is the same as 1000 + 100 + 1, in base 2, 1101 is the same as 8 + 4 + 1. or 13 in base 10
