Number System

1. The document discusses different number systems used in computers, including decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal. 2. In decimal, each position represents a power of 10, while in binary each position represents a power of 2. Binary uses only 0s and 1s, octal uses digits 0-7, and hexadecimal uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F representing 10-15. 3. The number systems are explained in terms of the base/digits used and what each position in a number represents in terms of the base. Converting between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal is also briefly mentioned.

Number System

When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as
computers can understand only numbers. A computer can understand positional
number system where there are only a few symbols called digits and these symbols
represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.
A value of each digit in a number can be determined using
1. The digit.
2. The position of the digit in the number.
3. The base of the number system (where base is defined a s the total number of
digits available in the number system.)
Decimal Number System

The number system that we use in our day-to-day life is the decimal number system. Decimal number
system has base 10 as it uses 10 digits from 0 to 9. In decimal number system, the successive
positions to the left of the decimal point represent units, tens, hundreds, thousands and so on.
Each position represents a specific power of the base (10). For example, the decimal number 1234
consists of the digit 4 in the units position, 3 in the tens position, 2 in the hundreds position, and 1 in
the thousands position, and its value can be written as
(1x1000)+(2x100)+(3x10)+(4x1)
(1x103)+(2x102)+(2x101)+(2x100)
1000+200+30+4
1234
As a computer programmer or an IT professional, you should understand the following number
systems which are frequently used in computers.
Binary Number System

Characteristics of binary number system are as follows: enter


1. Uses 2 digits, 0 and 1.
2. Also called base 2 number system.
3. Each position in a manner in number represents a 0 power of the base (2).
Example 20.
4. Last position in a binary number represents a x power of the base (2). Example
2x where x represents the last position – 1. Example Binary Number : 10101 2
Octal Number System

Characteristics of octal number system are as follows:


1. Uses eight digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
2. Also called base 8 number system.
3. Each position is an octal number represents the X power of the base (8).
Example 80.
4. Last position in an octal number represents a X power of the base (8). Example
8x where x represents the last position – 1.
5. Example – Octal Number: 125700
Hexadecimal Number System

Characteristics of hexadecimal number system are as follows:


1. Uses 10 digits and 6 letters, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.
2. Letters represents numbers starting form 10. A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14,
F=15.
3. Also called base 16 number system.
4. Each position in a hexadecimal number represents a 0 power of the base (16).
Example 16º.
5. Last position in a hexadecimal number represents a x power of the base (16).
Example 16x where x represents the last position - 1.
