ACEM Numbersystem

This document discusses different number systems including decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal, and BCD number systems. It provides details on the base, symbols used, and examples of each number system. The key points are: - Decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal, and BCD are common number systems with bases of 10, 2, 8, 16, and 10/4 respectively. They use different symbols to represent quantities. - Decimal is commonly used in daily life while binary is used in computers. Octal and hexadecimal represent groups of binary numbers and are used in computing and digital displays. - Each system has a unique set of symbols and base to represent numbers. Conversions between decimal, binary

Course Code : BBA/II/104
What is Number System ?

• A system for representing number of certain


type.
• A number system defines a set of values
used to represent quantity.
• Example:
–There are several systems for representing
the counting numbers.
–These include the usual base “10” or decimal
system : 0,1,2,3,…..10,11,12,..99,100,…
Number System

• Decimal is the number system and is used in our day to day life
• Binary is a number system that is used in computers
• Octal is a number system that represents groups of
binary numbers. It is used in digital displays.
• Hexadecimal (Hex) is a number system that represents
groups of binary numbers. Hex is primarily used in computing.

Decimal Number System

• Decimal number system contains ten unique symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9.

• Since counting in decimal involves ten symbols, we can say that its base or
radix is ten.

• In this system, any number (integer, fraction or mixed) of any magnitude can
be represented by the use of these ten symbols only

• Each symbols in the number is called a “Digit”

• Examples
• 1214
• 1897
• 9875.54
Binary Number System

• Binary number system is a positional weighted system.


• It contains two unique symbols 0 and 1.
• Since counting in binary involves two symbols , we can say that its
base or radix is two.
• A binary digit is called a “Bit”
• A binary number consists of a sequence of bits, each of which is
either a 0 or a 1.
• The binary point separates the integer and fraction parts.
•Examples,
1110
0000
1001
0101
Octal Number System

• Octal number system is a positional weighted system.


• It contains eight unique symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
• Since counting in octal involves eight symbols, we can say that its base or
radix is eight.
• The largest value of a digit in the octal system will be 7.
• That means the octal number higher than 7 will not be 8, instead of that it
will be 10
Hexadecimal Number System
• Binary numbers are long. These numbers are fine for
machines but are too lengthy to be handled by human
beings. So there is a need to represent the binary numbers
concisely.
• One number system developed with this objective is the
hexadecimal number system (or Hex)
• It contains sixteen unique symbols
• 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E and F.
• Since counting in hex involves sixteen symbols, we can say
that its base or radix is sixteen.
BCD or 8421 Numbers

• BCD means Binary Coded Decimal.


• BCD is a system of weiting a numbers that a four-digit binary code
to each digit 0 through 9 in decimal numbers.
• The smallest BCD number is (0000) and the largest is (1001). The next
number to 9 will be 10 which is expressed as (0001 0000) in BCD.
• There are six illegal combinations 1010, 1011,1100, 1101, 1110 and 1111 in
this code i.e. they are not part of the 8421 BCD code
