Number System
∞ Binary Number System - A binary number
system is one of the four types of number system.
In computer applications, where binary numbers are
represented by only two symbols or digits, i.e. 0
(zero) and 1(one). The binary numbers here are
expressed in the base-2 numeral system. For
example, (101)2 is a binary number.
∞ Octal Number System - Octal Number System
has a base of eight and uses the numbers from 0 to
7. The octal numbers, in the number system, are
usually represented by binary numbers when they
are grouped in pairs of three. For example, an octal
number 128 is expressed as 0010102 in the binary
system, where 1 is equivalent to 001 and 2 is
equivalent to 010.
∞ Decimal Number System - The decimal system
consists of 10 single-digit numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8 and 9. The number 9 is followed by 10,
which is followed by 11, then 12, and so on. The
number on the left is incremented by 1 each time
the digit to the right goes beyond 9.
∞ Hexadecimal Number System - The
hexadecimal number system is a type of number
system, that has a base value equal to 16. It is also
pronounced sometimes as ‘hex’. Hexadecimal
numbers are represented by only 16 symbols.
These symbols or values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, A, B, C, D, E and F. Each digit represents a
decimal value. For example, D is equal to base-10
13.
