16)
Decimal number system

It uses symbols called digits


for representing 10 different
values. It consists of numbers
from 0 to 9, hence it has the
base 10
Decimal number system

It is used to program
computers. It uses 2 symbols
which are 0 and 1, hence its
base is 2
Octal number system

It is often used in programs


because it is easy to convert
octal format into binary
format. It consists of 8
numbers which are from 0 to
7, hence it has a base 8.
Hexadecimal number
