Data Representation
numbers between decimal, and binary systems after having explored examples and
concepts using interactive activities (vertical learning) and collaborative group work.
Why computers use binary numbers system to represent data
All the data inside a computer is transmitted as a series of electric signals that are either
on or off. Therefore, for a computer to be able to process any kind of data including text,
images and sound ,they must be converted to binary form – a series of 1s and 0s.If the
data is not converted to binary form ,the computer do not understand it and unable to
process it.
Conversion Methods
Binary numbers system to Decimal number system
Decimal Number system to Binary number system
1.1 Number systems
There are 3 types of number system in this lesson
BINARY ,DENARY and HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM
Binary number system is called base 2 number system.
It is a method for representing numbers that only use two digits 0 and 1
Example (1010) 2, (1101) 2,(110011) 2
Denary Number system is called as base 10 number system.
It is a method for representing number that only use 10 separate digits 0-9
Example (25177) 10,(34568) 10, (345) 10
HOW THIS NUMBER SYSTEM WRITTEN
Denary Number System
Denary numbers written in multiples of 10
16 8 4 2 1
1 0 1 1 0
