This document discusses different number systems including binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal. It explains that number systems represent numbers logically using digits or symbols. Positional number systems assign values to digits based on their position, while non-positional systems assign each symbol a fixed value. The document highlights that number systems are fundamental to mathematics and technology, enabling mathematical operations and technical conversions.

A.Introduction
• Number system is a method of writing numbers that is a mathematical
way or representing the numbers of a given set by using digits or
symbols in a logical manner.
• There are four types of number system.
1.Binary number system
Binary number system can contain two digits 0 and 1.
So base of binary number system is 2.
 Binary numbers are represented with 2 as subscript to the value.
2. Decimal number system
It can contain digits from 0 to 9.
So base of decimal number system is 10.
Decimal numbers are represented with 10 as subscript to the value.
3.Octal number system
It can contain digits from 0 to 7.
So base of octal number system is 8.
Octal numbers are represented with 8 as subscript to the value
4.Hexadecimal number system
can contain digits from 0 to 9 and alphabets from A to F where,
 A=10
 B=11

 They are represented with 16 as subscript to the value.


B . Role of number system, its significance in our daily
lives and fundamental to mathematics and technology
• Significance : number system help us identify the extent to which we
need to limit an entity.
• These numbers can efficiently perform mathematical operations
like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• It enables easy conversion of numbers for technical purposes.
C . Positional Number System
• is a system for representation of numbers by an ordered set of
numerals symbols (called digits) in which the value of a numeral
symbol depends on its position.
• For each position a unique symbol or a limited set of symbols is used.
• Few examples of positional number system are:
1. decimal number system
2. Binary number system
3. octal number system
4. hexadecimal number system
5. binary-coded decimal
D . Non-positional number system

• Non-positional number system It uses a limited number of symbols


in which each symbol has a value.
• Roman number system is an example of a non-positional number
system.
 each symbol represents the same value regardless of its position. e.g.
Roman style as I, II, III, IV, gray code and excess-3
• it is used for shift position encodes and error-detecting purposes.
E . Difference between positional and non-
positional number system
• Non-positional number system
 each symbol represents a number with its own place value.
 Example: Roman number system where I for 1, II for 2 etc.
• Positional numeral system
 the radix or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent
numbers.
• Gray Code
 Is a binary numbering system in which two successive values only differ by one bit.
• Roman Numerals
Are number systems that are not used as primary number system in
computers. However they can be used in documents and presentations.
Conclusion
• In conclusion, number systems are essential for representing and
manipulating numbers in various fields, such as computer science,
mathematics, and engineering. The basic features of a number system
are unique symbols, consistency, comparable value results, and ease
of reproduction. The most commonly used number system is decimal
system, which has a base power of 10 and uses 10 digits (0-9).
• However, computers use four number systems: binary, octal, decimal,
and hexadecimal. Each number system has its own unique features
and uses. Understanding different number systems can be helpful in
various fields, such as computer science, mathematics, and
engineering.
