Number System

The document explains the number system, which is a method of naming or representing numbers used for counting and mathematical calculations. It details various types of number systems including decimal (base-10), binary (base-2), octal (base-8), and hexadecimal (base-16), with a focus on the binary system used in computers. The binary system consists of two digits, 0 and 1, and is essential for computer operations as it reflects the electronic states of on and off.

The Number System

What is number system or the


numeral system?
• The number system or the numeral system is the
system of naming or representing numbers.
• We know that a number is a mathematical value
that helps to count or measure objects and it
helps in performing various mathematical
calculations.
• There are different types of number systems in
Maths such as-
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.
• Each number can be used individually or they can be
grouped to form numeric value as 45, 75, 67, etc.
• 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).
Binary Number System (Base 2
Number System)
• The base 2 number system is also known as the
Binary number system wherein consist only two
digits -0 and 1.
• Since the system use two digits, it has base 2.
• All digital computer use this number system and
convert the data input from the decimal format
into its binary equivalent.
• For example, 110101 is a binary number. We can
convert any system into binary and vice versa.
Why Binary
• Since computer is made up of electronic
components, it can have only two states, either
 On (1)
 Off (0)
• The data which is given to the computer is
converted into binary form because a computer
understand only binary language.
• It further convents the binary results into their
decimal equivalents for output.
