The document explains the decimal system (base-10) as a positional numeral system where the value of a digit is determined by its position. It also discusses the conversion of binary (base-2) numbers to decimal and vice versa using expanded notation and sequential division by 2. Additionally, it mentions other numeral bases such as base-60, base-20, and base-12.

Decimal System (base-10
positional numeral system)
• The prefix deci means "ten“,
• The decimal system is a positional system;
A positional system is a numeral system in which the contribution of a digit to the
value of a number is the value of the digit multiplied by a factor determined by the
position of the digit.
• Example: In so-called expanded notation, we have
3572 = 3(1000) + 5(100) + 7(10) + 2(1)

• 10 is called the base and the number in each cell (position) is less than 10.
Can you think of another base in the
history of human beings?
• base-60
• base-20
• base-8
• base-12
• base-32
How to convert a binary (base 2)
number to a decimal number?
• In the binary (or base 2) number system, numbers are written as sums of
powers of 2. So, we use the expanded notation as follows:

…
…

Note
We indicate the base of a number, when the base is not 10, as a subscript to the
lower right of that number. If the number is a base 10 number, no subscript is
written.
