Introduction to Number Base

A computer or any digital system works in a binary manner.


Converting from one number base to another can be really
simple, but the idea behind it can seem a bit confusing at
first. The main number systems used in digital hardware
are as follows:
Decimal Number System
The decimal number system (base 10) number system
has ten as its base. It uses various symbols called digit
for ten distinct value (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9) to
represent numbers. In base ten, you have columns or
places for 100 = 1, 101 = 10, 102 = 100 and so on.
For example: 843 = 800 + 40 + 3
This is 8 hundreds, 4 tens and 3 units
=8x102 + 4x101 + 3x100
Binary Number
The binary number (base 2) number system represents values
using symbols typically 0 and 1. In base two 20 = 1, 21 = 2, 22 =
4, and so on.
E.g 19 in binary is 100112.

2 19 Convert from Binary to Decimal


290 1 100112 = 1x24 + 0x23 + 0x22 + 1x21 +
1x2
24 1 = 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1
22 0 = 1910.
= 100112.
21 0
0 1
Octal Number
System
The octal number system is a base 8 number
system, uses the digits from 0 to 7.
For example
Convert 4548 to decimal and then to binary
4548 = 4x82 + 5x81 + 4x80
= 4x64 + 5x8 + 4x1
= 256 + 40 + 4
= 30010
30010 = 1001011002
Hexadecimal Number System
In the hexadecimal number system is a number with a base of 16,
usually written using symbols 0-9 and A-F.
012 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Convert 7910 to hexadeciamal
2 79
2 39 1 0100 1111
2 19 1 4 F
2 9 1
2 4 1 1FF16 = 1x162 + Fx161 + Fx160
2 2 0 = 1x32 + 15x16 + 15x1
2 1 0 = 32 + 240 + 15
0 1 = 28710
Decimals vs Binary Equivalents

3 011 0011
4 100 0100
5 101 0101
