Conversion of Binary IP Address to Decimal

The resulting IP address, with the periods added, would be 100.235.1.1. The math used for the conversion was covered in the section titled "Converting from Binary to Decimal" earlier in this appendix. But the conversion process is not the tricky part. When you start with a 32-bit number, as long as you organize it into 4 sets of 8 bits (4 binary octets), you can go through the math to convert each 8-bit binary to decimal. However, if you misstep and convert a 9-bit binary to decimal and then a 7-bit binary number to decimal, you'll be converting the number incorrectly.
