1. Define Number System
A number system is a method of representing numbers using a specific set of symbols or
digits. Each number system has a base (or radix), which determines the number of unique
digits used. Number systems are essential in mathematics, electronics, and computer
science for storing and processing data.
2. Types of Number Systems
• Decimal (Base 10): Digits 0–9. Example: 548₁₀
• Binary (Base 2): Digits 0 and 1. Example: 101101₂
• Octal (Base 8): Digits 0–7. Example: 725₈
• Hexadecimal (Base 16): Digits 0–9 and A–F. Example: 3AF₁₆
3. Illustrate the Number System
Decimal (Base 10)
Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Example: 245₁₀
Binary (Base 2)
Digits: 0, 1
Example: 110101₂
Octal (Base 8)
Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Example: 345₈
Hexadecimal (Base 16)
Digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F
Example: 2AF₁₆
4. Chart of the Number System
Number System | Base | Digits | Example
Decimal | 10 | 0–9 | 125₁₀
Binary | 2 | 0,1 | 1111101₂
Octal | 8 | 0–7 | 175₈
Hexadecimal |16|0–9,A–F|7D₁₆
5. System Conversion
Example:
53₁₀ = 110101₂ = 65₈ = 35₁₆
101101₂ = 45₁₀ = 55₈ = 2D₁₆
Number systems are important in electronics and and computer technology because they
allow information to be represented, processed, and stored efficiently. Computers use
binary, while octal and hexadecimal provide shorter and easier representations.
