Decimal Number System
• The number system that we use in our day-to-day life is the decimal number system. Decimal number system has base 10 as it uses 10 digits from 0 to 9.
• In decimal number system, the successive positions to the left of the decimal point represents units, tens, hundreds, thousands and so on.
Decimal Number System
• Each position represents a specific power of the base (10).
• For example, the decimal number 1234 consists of the digit 4 in the unit's position, 3 in the tens position, 2 in the hundreds position, and 1 in the thousands position, and its value can be written as
=((4 × 1) + (3 × 10) + (2 × 100) + (1 × 1000)) =1234
Binary Number System
• Uses two digits, 0 and 1.
• Also called base 2 number system
• Each position in a binary number represents a 0 power of the base (2).
• Example: 20
• Last position in a binary number represents an x power of the base (2).
• Example: 2x where x represents the last position - 1.
Octal
Number System
• Uses eight digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
• Also called base 8 number system
• Each position in an octal number represents a 0 power of the base (8). Example: 80
• Last position in an octal number represents an x power of the base (8).
• Example: 8x where x represents the last position - 1.

Uses 10 digits and 6 letters,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.
•
Letters
represents numbers starting from 10. A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F
= 15.
•
Also
called base 16 number system.
•
Each
position in a hexadecimal number represents a 0 power of the base (16). Example
160.
•
Last
position in a hexadecimal number represents an x power of the base (16). Example
