Number Systems

Denary and Binary Number


System
 In Computer Science there are
2 numbering systems used
to represent data:
 Denary
 Binary
The Denary Number System

 The denary number system, also known as the decimal system, is


a base-10 numbering system that uses 10 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9
 Denary numbers can be used to represent any quantity, including whole
numbers, fractions, and decimals
 Each digit in a denary number represents a power of 10, with the
rightmost digit representing 100, the next representing 101, and so on
 It is necessary to convert data from one number system to another eg.
denary to binary or denary to hexadecimal
It is much easier to do conversions with a table:

The number 3268 (three thousand two hundred and sixty-eight)


can be represented in the following table:
The Binary Number System
 The Binary Number System
 The binary number system is a base-2 numbering system that uses
only two digits: 0 and 1
 Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2, with the
rightmost digit representing 20, the next representing 21, and so on.
 Eg: the number 12 represented in binary is 1100:
