Chapter DataReprentation

The document discusses different number systems including decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal. It explains that number systems provide a consistent way to represent numbers using digits or symbols. Each system has a base and uses positional notation to determine the value of each digit based on its place. Decimal uses base 10 with digits 0-9, binary uses base 2 with digits 0-1, octal uses base 8 with digits 0-7, and hexadecimal uses base 16 with digits 0-9 and A-F. Conversions can be done between these number systems using methods like repeated division.

DATA REPRESENTATION
NUMBER SYSTEM
It refers to the ways of writing numbers using digits or other
symbols in a consistent manner.
It provides a unique representation of every number.
The value of any digit in a number can be determined by:
• The digit
• Its position in the number
• The base of the number system
Types of Number System : The four most common number
system types are:-
• Decimal number system (Base- 10)
• Binary number system (Base- 2)
• Octal number system (Base-8)
• Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)
Decimal Number System :
It has base 10 and is made up of ten unique digits from 0 to 9.
Example : ( 1457 )10 , ( 28 )10 etc
It is a positional value number system where the value of each
digit depends on its position.
Like - 1 4 5 7

103 101
102 100
i.e the decimal number 1457 = (1×103) + (4×102) + (5×101) + (7×1)
Binary Number System :
It has base 2 and is made up of two unique symbols 0 and 1.
Example : ( 11010 )2 , ( 11 )2 etc
It is also positional value number system where the value of
each digit depends on its position.
Like - 1 1 0 1

23 21
22 20
i.e the binary number 1101 = (1×23) + (1×22) + (0×21) + (1×20)
= (13) 10
Octal Number System :
It has base 8 and is made up of eight unique symbols from
0 to 7.
Example : ( 2437 )8 , ( 65 )8 etc
It is also positional value number system.
Like - 2 4 3 7

83 81
82 80
i.e the octal number 2437 = (2×83) + (4×82) + (3×81) + (7×80)
= (1311) 10
Hexadecimal Number System :
It has base 16 and is made up of sixteen unique symbols from
0 to 9 and A to F ( for 10 to 15 where A represents 10, B means
11 …).
Example : ( 1A3 )16 , ( 65C )16 etc
It is also positional value number system.
Like - 1 A 3

161
162 160
i.e the HexaDecimal number 1A3 = (1×162) + (10×161) + (3×160)
= (419) 10
Number Conversions
1. Decimal to Binary :
Two ways/ Methods –
(a) Repeated Division Method
Example : Convert ( 35 )10 to Binary
