decimal to the powerful binary and beyond.
Introduction to Number Systems

What are Number Systems? Why are they Important?

Number systems are fundamental to computing, data


Number systems are sets of symbols and rules used to representation, and understanding various scientific
represent numbers. Each system has a unique base, and mathematical concepts.
determining the number of digits it uses.
Decimal Number
System
1 Base 10 2 Everyday Use
The decimal system uses
ten digits (0-9), We use the decimal
representing quantities in system for everyday
powers of ten. calculations, including
money, time, and
measurements.

3 Example
123 represents (1 x 10*2) + (2 x 10*1) + (3 x 10*0).
Binary Number System

Base 2 Computer
Foundation
The binary system uses two
digits (0 and 1), Computers use binary for
representing quantities in their internal operations,
powers of two. processing information as a
series of on (1) and off (0)
signals.

Example
1011 represents (1 x 2*3) + (0 x 2*2) + (1 x 2*1) + (1 x 2*0) = 11.
Octal Number System

Base 8 File Permissions


The octal system uses eight Octal is used in some operating
digits (0-7), representing systems for representing file
quantities in powers of eight. permissions and access control.

Example
123 represents (1 x 8^2) + (2 x
8^1) + (3 x 8^0) = 83.
Hexadecimal Number
System
1 Base 16
The hexadecimal system uses sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F),
representing quantities in powers of sixteen.

2 Color Codes
Hexadecimal is widely used in web development for defining color codes.

3 Memory Addressing
It is also used in computer memory addressing and data representation.

4 Example
2AF represents (2 x 16^2) + (10 x 16^1) + (15 x 16^0) = 687.
Conversion Between
Number Systems

Decimal to Binary
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, collecting the
remainders in reverse order.

Binary to Decimal
Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 2 and sum the results.

Other Conversions
Conversions between other number systems can be done
through intermediate conversions to binary.
Arithmetic Operations in Different Number
Systems
Addition
1 Add digits in each position, carrying over to the next if necessary.

Subtraction
2
Subtract digits in each position, borrowing if needed.

Multiplication
3
Multiply digits in each position and add the partial products.

Division
4
Divide the dividend by the divisor using long division, adjusting for the base.
Applications of Number Systems

Computing
