1. Differentiate between positional and non-positional number systems.
o In a positional number system, the value of a digit depends on both the digit
itself and its position in the number (e.g., binary, decimal).
o In a non-positional number system, the value of a symbol remains the same
regardless of its position (e.g., Roman numerals).
2. Convert the decimal number 10 into a binary number.
o The binary representation of the decimal number 10 is 1010.
3. What is the purpose of a hexadecimal number system in computing?
o The hexadecimal number system is used in computing because it is more
compact than binary and easier for humans to read, while still closely
representing binary data.
4. Convert the binary number 1101 into a decimal number.
o The decimal representation of the binary number 1101 is 13.
5. What is the base of an octal number system, and where is it used?
o The base of an octal number system is 8. It is used in computing, especially in
digital systems, as a shorthand for binary numbers.
6. Explain the term "binary arithmetic."
o Binary arithmetic involves mathematical operations like addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division using binary numbers (0 and 1).
