I. ESSENTIAL IDEAS
A. Binary Number
Binary is a base-2 number system invented by Gottfried Leibniz that is
made up of only two numbers: 0 and 1. This number system is the basis for
all binary code, which is used to write data such as the computer
processor instructions used every day.

How does binary work?

The 0s and 1s in binary represent OFF or ON, respectively. In a transistor, a
"0" represents no flow of electricity, and "1" represents electricity being
allowed to flow. In this way, numbers are represented physically inside the
computing device, permitting calculation. This concept is further explained
in our section on how to read binary numbers.

Why do computers use binary?

Binary is still the primary language for computers for the following reasons.
 It is a simple and elegant design,
 Binary’s 0 and 1 method is quick to detect an electrical signal’s off
and on state.
 The positive and negative poles of magnet media are quickly
translated into binary.
 Binary is the most efficient way to control logic circuits.

B. Hexadecimal Number

Hexadecimal Number System is one the type of Number Representation

techniques, in which there value of base is 16. That means there are only 16
symbols or possible digit values, there are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C,
D, E, F. Where A, B, C, D, E and F are single bit representations of decimal
value 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 respectively. It requires only 4 bits to

represent value of any digit. Hexadecimal numbers are indicated by the

addition of either an 0x prefix or an h suffix.
Position of every digit has a weight which is a power of 16. Each position
in the Hexadecimal system is 16 times more significant than the previous
position, that means numeric value of an hexadecimal number is determined
by multiplying each digit of the number by the value of the position in
which the digit appears and then adding the products. So, it is also a
positional (or weighted) number system.
Applications of Hexadecimal Number System
Hexadecimal Number System is commonly used in Computer programming
and Microprocessors. It is also helpful to describe colors on web pages.
Each of the three primary colors (i.e., red, green and blue) is represented by
two hexadecimal digits to create 255 possible values, thus resulting in more
than 16 million possible colors. Hexadecimal number system is used to
describe locations in memory for every byte. These hexadecimal numbers
are also easier to read and write than binary or decimal numbers for
Computer Professionals.
