You can find it at any time on the Binary, Hex & Decimal Converter page, where the calculator sits above a full explanation of the method it uses.

Tips for an accurate result

Break a multi-step problem into the smaller calculations it's made of, and check each one rather than trusting a single combined result blindly.

Write down what you expect the answer to roughly be before you calculate — it makes it much easier to catch a typo in your inputs.

For anything with real consequences (a grade, a budget, a measurement), verify the result by hand on at least one simple case.

Small rounding differences between two methods are normal — they don't usually mean either one is wrong.
