    Study Notes

    Number Systems

    • Common number systems include Decimal, Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal.
    • Decimal uses symbols 0-9, and is used by humans.
    • Binary uses symbols 0 and 1, and is used by computers.
    • Octal uses symbols 0-7.
    • Hexadecimal uses symbols 0-9 and A-F.

    Decimal, Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal Conversion

    • Tables show the conversion of numbers from decimal to binary, octal, and hexadecimal.
    • For example, decimal 7 converts to binary 111, octal 7, and hexadecimal 7.
    • Decimal 10 converts to binary 1010, octal 12, and hexadecimal A.
    • Specific examples illustrate the translation process, such as 2510 = 110012 = 1916.

    Conversion Techniques

    • Methods for converting between number systems using various techniques.
    • Decimal to binary involves repeated division by 2, retaining the remainders, (e.g. 12510 = 11111012).
    • Hexadecimal to binary involves converting each hexadecimal digit to a 4-bit binary equivalent. (e.g. 10AF16 = 00010000101011112)
    • Decimal to hexadecimal involves repeated division by 16, retaining remainders. The remainders are converted to hexadecimal digits based on the table.

    Powers and Weights

    • Conversion techniques involve understanding positional weights.
    • Converting decimal 125 to its base-10 representation:
      • 5 x 100 = 5
      • 2 x 101 = 20
      • 1 x 102 = 100
      • Summing these gives 125

    Binary Addition and Multiplication

    • Addition and Multiplication operations are similar to those in decimal system, but instead with binary digits only.

    Fractional Representation

    • Decimal fractions can be converted into binary fractions using appropriate conversion steps.
    • Binary fractions can also be converted into decimal numbers.

    Common Powers of 10 and 2

    • Various powers of 10 and their corresponding prefixes and symbols are described.
    • Powers of 2 and their corresponding prefixes and values are described (e.g. 210 = 1024 = 1 Kilo).
    • Examples demonstrate how computers use these units to represent memory capacity.
