Number System

Number System
- A numeral/number system is a writing system for expressing
numbers; that is, a mathematical notation for representing
numbers of a given set, using digits or other symbols in a
consistent manner. The same sequence of symbols may represent
different numbers in different numeral systems
- Is a way or methodology on how numbers are represented inside
the computer’s memory. Human beings think in decimal, while
computers process in binary.
Two (2) important concept
1. That all number system follow the concept of positional
notation. This means that the numerical value given to a digit is
determined by its relative position in a given number.
2. That all number systems follow a set of valid values.
Number System Base(n) Valid values
Binary 2 0,1
Decimal 10 0-9
Octal 8 0-7
Hexadecimal 16 0-9,A,B,C,D,E,F

Note: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15


Binary Number Base System
In mathematics and digital electronic, a binary number is
a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary
numeral system, which uses only two symbols: typically "0" (zero)
and "1" (one).
The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of
2. Each digit is referred to as a bit. Because of its straightforward
implementation in digital electronic circuity using logic gates, the
binary system is used by almost all modern computers and
computer-based devices.
• Uses base 2
• Includes only the digits 0 and 1 ( any digit would make the
number an invalid binary number
Octal Number Base System
The octal number system, or oct for short, is the base-8 number
system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. Octal numerals can be made
from binary numerals by grouping consecutive binary digits into
groups of three (starting from the right). For example, the binary
representation for decimal 74 is 1001010. Two zeroes can be added
at the left: (00)1 001 010, corresponding the octal digits 1 1 2,
yielding the octal representation 112.

• Uses base 8
• Includes only the digits 0 through 7 ( any digit would make the
number an invalid octal number
Decimal Number Base System
The decimal number system (also called base-ten positional
numeral system, and occasionally called denary or decanary) is
the standard system for denoting integer and non-
integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers of
the Hindu-Arabic number system. The way of denoting numbers in
the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation

• Uses base 10
• Includes only the digits 0 through 9 ( any digit would make the
number an invalid octal number
Hexadecimal Number Base System
In mathematics and computing, hexadecimal (also base 16,
or hex) is a positional system that represents numbers using
a base of 16. Unlike the common way of representing numbers
with ten symbols, it uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the
symbols "0"–"9" to represent values zero to nine, and "A"–"F" (or
alternatively "a"–"f") to represent values ten to fifteen.

• Uses base 16
• A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15
