Number Systems in Computer

There are four most common number system types in computer and
these are:
1. Decimal: - number with base 10.
2. Binary: - number with base 2.
3. Octal: - number with base 8.
4. Hexadecimal: - number with base 16.

Number System Conversions

Decimal & Binary
Converting binary into decimal number & decimal into binary
 To convert binary to decimal, use these below steps:
 Write down the binary numbers.
 Start from the left by writing 20…2n correspond binary digits.
 Then use power rule into the binary with 1 or less and then add.
 Don’t forget to use the bases.
 Also try to prove if you are right.
 To convert decimal to binary, use one of these methods:
1. Subtraction method.
2. Successive division method.
Subtraction method, use these below steps:
 Write down the decimal number.
 Subtract the decimal number to the least number of digits.
 Then write the binary numbers by taking 1 to the digits used.

 Also try to prove if you are right.
Successive division method, use these below steps:
 Write down the decimal number.
 Divide the decimal number by 2 and if there is remainder (R1 or R0).
 Then write the binary numbers starting from MSB to LSB.
 Don’t forget to use the bases.
 Also try to prove if you are right.

Converting binary to decimal number & decimal to binary using Excel

 To convert binary to decimal using excel, use one below functions:
 =decimal (BN,2 for the base).
 =bin2dec(BN).
 Also try to prove if you are right.
 To convert decimal to binary using excel, use one below functions:
 =base (DN,2 for the base).
 = dec2bin (DN).
 Also try to prove if you are right.

Decimal & Hexadecimal

 To convert decimal to hexadecimal, use these below steps:
 Write down the decimal number.
 Divide the decimal number by 16 and multiply the remainder by 16.
 Then write the hexadecimal numbers starting from MSB to LSB.
 Don’t forget to use letters for the remainder greater than 9.
 Don’t forget to use the bases.
 Also try to prove if you are right.
 To convert hexadecimal to decimal, use these below steps:
 Write down the hexadecimal number and letters to correspondent.
 Start from the left by writing 160…16n correspond hexadecimal digits.
 Multiply 16n to each of their correspondent hexadecimal numbers.
