Study Notes

Number Systems

  • Decimal system uses base 10, with symbols 0-9. Used by humans.
  • Binary system uses base 2, with symbols 0 and 1. Used by computers.
  • Octal system uses base 8, with symbols 0-7.
  • Hexadecimal system uses base 16, with symbols 0-9 and A-F. Used by computers.

Conversion Techniques

  • Decimal to Binary: Divide the decimal number by 2 repeatedly, keeping track of the remainders. The remainders in reverse order form the binary equivalent.
  • Decimal to Octal: Divide the decimal number by 8 repeatedly, keeping track of the remainders.
  • Decimal to Hexadecimal: Divide the decimal number by 16 repeatedly, keeping track of the remainders. Convert remainders greater than 9 to their hexadecimal equivalent (A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15).
  • Binary to Decimal: Multiply each bit by 2 raised to the power of its position (starting from 0 on the right). Sum the results.
  • Octal to Decimal: Multiply each octal digit by 8 raised to the power of its position (starting from 0 on the right). Sum the results.
  • Hexadecimal to Decimal: Multiply each hexadecimal digit by 16 raised to the power of its position (starting from 0 on the right). Sum the results.
  • Octal to Binary: Convert each octal digit to its 3-bit binary equivalent.
  • Hexadecimal to Binary: Convert each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary equivalent.
  • Binary to Octal: Group the bits in threes (starting from the right). Convert each group to its octal equivalent.
  • Binary to Hexadecimal: Group the bits in fours (starting from the right). Convert each group to its hexadecimal equivalent.
  • Octal to Hexadecimal: Convert the octal number to binary, then convert the binary number to hexadecimal.

Common Powers of 2

  • 210 = 1024 (kilo)
  • 220 = 1,048,576 (Mega)
  • 230 = 1,073,741,824 (Giga)

Binary Arithmetic

  • Binary addition and multiplication follow rules similar to decimal arithmetic.

Additional Notes

  • Common number systems include decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal
  • Understanding conversion between different number systems is critical for many computer science applications.
  • Specific arithmetic rules apply for each number system.
