How to use this tool
- Enter binary a, binary b, operation.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Parse unsigned binary operands exactly as integers. Arithmetic uses arbitrary-precision integer operations. Division returns an integer quotient and a remainder; bitwise operations compare aligned bits.
Using binary a = 101101, binary b = 110, operation = add, the result is 110011. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Unsigned input operands, up to 512 bits each. No fractional binary, implicit bit width, signed overflow or two’s-complement interpretation. Finite-precision arithmetic is used. Check the domain and the stated convention before using an approximation.
Common questions
Why is division sometimes missing a fraction?
This tool performs exact integer division. The remainder is displayed separately; it does not truncate an unlabelled approximate fractional result.
How is this different from a base converter?
A base converter changes the notation of one number. This calculator performs arithmetic or bitwise operations on two binary inputs and then presents the result in three bases.
