RADIX CONVERTER

Apparatus for converting a number in a first radix to a number in a second radix is disclosed. Conversion of a binary number to a decimal number is accomplished by adding the low order of the decimal value for each position or ordinal in the binary number which contains a one bit or a number descriptor. Carries in the addition are ignored and the sum forms the low order ordinal in the decimal equivalent of the binary number. The sum is subtracted from the binary number and it is divided by the radix of the output number or ten. The series of operations is repeated until the binary number has been completely converted.
