Study Notes

Number Systems

A number system is a set of symbols and rules for representing numbers.
It is formed from a set of elements and symbols.
A number system is also a positional system; the value of a symbol depends on its position within the number.
Numbers in a system can be represented additively or subtractively.
Each position in the number corresponds to a certain power of the base.
The base of a number system is the number of digits used in the system.
Examples of number systems include decimal (base 10), binary (base 2), octal (base 8), and hexadecimal (base 16).
Converting between different number systems involves using the powers of the base.
Examples of positional number systems include base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), and base 16 (hexadecimal).
Converting between bases involves repeated division by the target base and collecting the remainders.
