Number system concepts
1. Complex numbers :
2. Imaginary Number :
A number does not exist in the number line is called imaginary number. For
example square root of negative numbers are imaginary numbers. It is
denoted by ” i ” or ” j “
i.e √-1 = i
i2 = – 1
So there is no real number i that satisfies the above equation. The quantity
” i” is called the unit imaginary number.
3. Real numbers :
All numbers that can be represented on the number line are called real
numbers.
The real numbers is the set of numbers containing all of the rational numbers
and all of the irrational numbers. The real numbers are “all the numbers” on
the number line.
Real Numbers are denoted by “R”.
3. Rational numbers :
A rational number is defined as number of the fo rm x/y where x and y are
integers and Y # 0.
i.e Any number which can be expressed as in the form of p/q where “p” and
“q” are the integers and q # 0
The set of rational numbers encloses the set of integers and fractions.
The rational numbers that are not integral will have decimal values. These
values can be of two types
Terminating decimal fractions (finite decimal factors) : For example 1/5 = 0.5 ,
13/5 = 2.6.
Non Terminating decimal fractions : The non terminating decimal fractions
having two types.
•
• Non terminating periodic fractions
• Non terminating non periodic fractions
3. Irrational numbers :
An Irrational numbers are non terminating and non periodic fractions.
i.e irrational numberis a number that cannot be written as a ratio x/y form
(or fraction). In decimal form, is never ends or repeats.
Examples for irrational numbers are √2 = 1.414213……, π
= 3.14159265……., √3, √5 etc.
5. Whole numbers :
The set of whole numbers means narrator numbers and “0”
Whole numbers = W = { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,…………..∞}
6. Natural Numbers:
The counting numbers start with 1 and their end is not defined. Generally it
is denoted by “N”
i.e N ={1,2,3,4 ………………………….∞}
Step 1 29 / 2 14 1
Step 2 14 / 2 7 0
Step 3 7/2 3 1
Step 4 3/2 1 1
Step 5 1/2 0 1
As mentioned in Steps 2 and 4, the remainders have to be arranged in the reverse order
so that the first remainder becomes the Least Significant Digit (LSD) and the last
remainder becomes the Most Significant Digit (MSD).
Decimal Number − 2910 = Binary Number − 111012.
Other Base System to Decimal System
Steps
• Step 1 − Determine the column (positional) value of each digit (this depends on
the position of the digit and the base of the number system).
• Step 2 − Multiply the obtained column values (in Step 1) by the digits in the
corresponding columns.
• Step 3 − Sum the products calculated in Step 2. The total is the equivalent value
in decimal.
Example
Binary Number − 111012
Calculating Decimal Equivalent −
Step 1 21 / 2 10 1
Step 2 10 / 2 5 0
Step 3 5/2 2 1
Step 4 2/2 1 0
Step 5 1/2 0 1
Step 2 101012 28 58
