Binary : A number system using base 2 instead of the usual
(human) base 10, which is normally referred to as the
decimal system. Computers use base 2 because they can only
recognize two values, 1 or 0. This is simulated electronically
by using a device, such as a switch, which is either on (1) or
off (0). All numbers are represented by combinations of ones
and zeroes, thus the number 9 is represented as 1001, the
right-most column being the units column and the other
columns, moving from right to left, being 2, 4, 8.

Decimal: The numbers are represented with base 10. The way
of denoting the decimal numbers with base 10 is also termed as
decimal notation. This number system is widely used in
computer applications. It is also called the base-10 number
system which consists of 10 digits, such as, 0 to 9.
Hexadecimal : A number system used in computers in which
numbers are composed of combinations of 16 digits, using
0-9 then the letters A-F to represent 10-15. Hex allows binary
numbers to be expressed in a more compact and
comprehensible form.

For example, 255 = FF (hex) = 1111 1111 (binary).


Octal: Refers to the base-8 numbering system. It comes from
the Latin word for eight. The octal numbering system uses the
numerals 0 to 7. In computing environments, it is commonly
used as a shorter representation of binary numbers by
grouping binary digits into threes.
