Number System

The document outlines four common types of number systems: Decimal (Base-10), Binary (Base-2), Octal (Base-8), and Hexadecimal (Base-16). Each system is explained with examples, illustrating how numbers are represented and converted between systems. The Decimal system uses digits 0-9, Binary uses 0 and 1, Octal uses 0-7, and Hexadecimal uses 0-9 and A-F.

Types of Number Systems
There are various types of number systems
in mathematics. The four most common
number system types are:
1.Decimal number system (Base- 10)
2.Binary number system (Base- 2)
3.Octal number system (Base-8)
4.Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)
• DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM (BASE 10 NUMBER SYSTEM)
• THE DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM HAS A BASE OF 10 BECAUSE IT USES TEN DIGITS
FROM 0 TO 9. IN THE DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM, THE POSITIONS SUCCESSIVE TO THE
LEFT OF THE DECIMAL POINT REPRESENT UNITS, TENS, HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS AND
SO ON. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPRESSED IN DECIMAL NUMBERS. EVERY POSITION SHOWS A
PARTICULAR POWER OF THE BASE (10).
• EXAMPLE OF DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM:
• THE DECIMAL NUMBER 1457 CONSISTS OF THE DIGIT 7 IN THE UNITS POSITION, 5 IN
THE TENS PLACE, 4 IN THE HUNDREDS POSITION, AND 1 IN THE THOUSANDS PLACE
WHOSE VALUE CAN BE WRITTEN AS:
• (1×103) + (4×102) + (5×101) + (7×100)
• (1×1000) + (4×100) + (5×10) + (7×1)
• 1000 + 400 + 50 + 7
• 1457
Binary Number System (Base 2 Number System)
The base 2 number system is also known as the Binary number system wherein, only two binary digits
exist, i.e., 0 and 1. Specifically, the usual base-2 is a radix of 2. The figurs described under this system are
known as binary numbers which are the combination of 0 and 1. For example, 110101 is a binary number.
We can convert any system into binary and vice versa.
Example
Write (14)10 as a binary number.
Solution:

Base 2 Number System Example


∴ (14)10 = 11102
• OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM (BASE 8 NUMBER SYSTEM)

• IN THE OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM, THE BASE IS 8 AND IT USES NUMBERS FROM 0 TO 7 TO REPRESENT
NUMBERS. OCTAL NUMBERS ARE COMMONLY USED IN COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. CONVERTING AN OCTAL
NUMBER TO DECIMAL IS THE SAME AS DECIMAL CONVERSION AND IS EXPLAINED BELOW USING AN
EXAMPLE.

• EXAMPLE: CONVERT 2158 INTO DECIMAL.

• SOLUTION:

• 2158 = 2 × 82 + 1 × 81 + 5 × 80

• = 2 × 64 + 1 × 8 + 5 × 1

• = 128 + 8 + 5

• = 14110
Hexadecimal Number System (Base 16
Number System)
In the hexadecimal system, numbers are written or
represented with base 16. In the hexadecimal system,
the numbers are first represented just like in the
decimal system, i.e. from 0 to 9. Then, the numbers are
represented using the alphabet from A to F. The below-
given table shows the representation of numbers in the
hexadecimal number system.
