Converting Multiple-Part ITU National Point Codes to a Single Number
A.4.4.2.1 Converting Multiple-Part ITU National Point Codes to a Single Number
Convert each part of the point code into a binary number using a scientific calculator. The results are as follows.
7-55-5 = 111 00110111 101
0-86-7 = 000 01010110 111
Combine each part of the point code into a single binary number as follows.
111 00110111 101 = 11100110111101
000 01010110 111 = 00001010110111
Note:
If the binary number has any zeros at the beginning of the number, remove these zeros as they are not necessary.
In this example, the binary equivalent for the point code 0-86-7 (00001010110111) contains four zeros at the beginning of the binary number. When the leading zeros are removed from the binary number, the resulting binary number is now 1010110111.
Convert the binary number to a decimal number using the same scientific calculator used in step 1.
The binary number 11100110111101 converts to the decimal number 14781.
The binary number 1010110111 converts to the decimal number 695.
