Study Notes

  • Number Systems play a crucial role as the language of computers.

Different Number Systems:

  • Decimal (Base 10) is the everyday number system.
  • Binary (Base 2) is used in digital systems.
  • Octal (Base 8) is a shorthand for binary representation.
  • Hexadecimal (Base 16) represents binary in a compact form.

Decimal Numbers:

  • Decimal numbers is the Number with base 10
  • To convert decimal numbers, each digit is multiplied by the appropriate power of 10.
  • For example, 953 in base 10 can be expressed as (9 * 10^2) + (5 * 10^1) + (3 * 10^0).

Binary Numbers:

  • A binary digit is known as a bit.
  • Binary, uses a system of arithmetic with two logic states: 0 and 1.
  • Binary numbers are a base-2 numeral system.
  • Only the digits 0 and 1 are used.
  • The right most bit is the Least Significant Bit (LSB).
  • The left most bit is the Most Significant Bit (MSB).

Octal Numbers:

  • In the octal system, the base is eight and each place is a power of eight.
  • Digits 0-7 are the only ones used.
  • The decimal number 8 equals 10 in octal.
  • The decimal number 9 is represented as 11 in octal.

Hexadecimal Numbers:

  • There are 16 symbols used in the hexadecimal system, 0-9 and A-F.
  • Symbols 0-9 represent corresponding numerals in the decimal system and symbols A-F represent decimal values 10-15.
  • The hexadecimal system is also called base-16.

Number Conversions:

  • Number conversions include Binary to Decimal, Decimal to Binary, Decimal to Octal, and Decimal to Hex.
  • Conversions also exist for numbers with fractions like, Decimal to Binary, Binary to octal, Binary to Hex, Octal to Binary, and Hex to Binary.
  • Formula: Maximum number = n-1:
  • Decimal is 10-1 = 9.
  • Binary is 2-1 =1.
  • Octal is 8-1 = 7.
  • Hexadecimal is 16-1 =15 = F

Binary to Decimal:

  • Binary numbers are converted to decimal numbers by using xxxx in base 2 becoming yyyy in base 10.
  • Multiply each binary digit by the appropriate power of 2.
  • Can convert from base-2 to base-10.

Decimal to Binary:

  • Convert decimal numbers to binary numbers where XXXX in base 10, becomes yyyy in base 2.
  • Binary to Decimal Conversion: the the inverse is also true : Multiplications
  • Decimal to Binary Conversion, Divisions are used.

Decimal to Octal:

  • Base10 turns into Base8.
  • Example: 153 base 10 = (?) base 8.

Octal to Binary:

  • Conversion from binary to octal
  • To preform a conversion split the binary into groups of 3

Binary to Hexadecimal

  • Conversion from binary to hexadecimal
  • To preform a conversion split the binary into groups of 4

Integer with fraction conversion:

  • To convert numbers with both integer and fraction parts into binary, each part needs to be converted separately and combined.
  • Steps for Integer Part Conversion: Divide the integer part repeatedly by 2 noting the remainder. Write the remainders in reverse order to get its binary equivalent.
  • Steps for Fractional Part Conversion: Multiply the fractional part by 2, repeatedly and note down the integer part (0 or 1) after multiplication.
  • Continue until the fraction becomes 0 or the desired precision has been reached
