A number system is a method for expressing numbers using digits or symbols, essential for arithmetic and algebra. Common types include decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems, with the ability to convert numbers between these systems. The binary system is particularly important for computers due to its efficiency in calculations and resource management.

NUMBER
SYSTEM
•A number system is defined as a system of
writing to express numbers. It is the
mathematical notation for representing
numbers of a given set by using digits or
other symbols in a consistent manner. It
provides a unique representation of every
number and represents the arithmetic and
algebraic structure of the figures.
What is a Number?
• A number is a mathematical value used for counting or measuring or
labelling objects. Numbers are used to perform arithmetic calculations.
Examples of numbers are natural numbers, whole numbers, rational and
irrational numbers, etc. 0 is also a number that represents a null value.
• A number has many other variations such as even and odd numbers,
prime and composite numbers. Even and odd terms are used when a
number is divisible by 2 or not, whereas prime and composite differentiate
between the numbers that have only two factors and more than two
factors, respectively.
• In a number system, these numbers are used as digits. 0 and 1 are the
most common digits in the number system, that are used to represent
binary numbers. On the other hand, 0 to 9 digits are also used for other
number systems. Let us learn here the types of number systems.
Types of Number System
• There are various types of number systems in
mathematics. The four most common number
system types are:
• Decimal number system (Base- 10)
• Binary number system (Base- 2)
• Octal number system (Base-8)
• Hexadecimal number system (Base- 16)
Number System Conversion
• Numbers can be represented in any of the number system categories like binary,
decimal, hex, etc. Also, any number which is represented in any of the number system
types can be easily converted to other. Check the detailed lesson on the conversions of
number systems to learn how to convert numbers in decimal to binary and vice versa,
hexadecimal to binary and vice versa, and octal to binary and vice versa using various
examples.
• With the help of the different conversion procedures explained above, now let us
discuss in brief about the conversion of one number system to the other number
system by taking a random number.
• Assume the number 349. Thus, the number 349 in different number systems is as
follows:
• The number 349 in the binary number system is 101011101
• The number 349 in the decimal number system is 349.
• The number 349 in the octal number system is 535.
• The number 349 in the hexadecimal number system is 15D
Why is the Number System Important?
• The number system helps to represent numbers in a
small symbol set. Computers, in general, use binary
numbers 0 and 1 to keep the calculations simple
and to keep the amount of necessary circuitry less,
which results in the least amount of space, energy
consumption and cost.
What is Base 1 Number System Called ?
The base 1 number system is called the unary numeral
system and is the simplest numeral system to represent
natural numbers.
