Numbers

Natural Numbers
Zero and any number obtained by repeatedly adding
one to it.

Examples: 100, 0, 45645, 32

Negative Numbers
A value less than 0, with a – sign

Examples: -24, -1, -45645, -32

*

Numbers

Integers
A natural number, a negative number, zero

Examples: 249, 0, - 45645, - 32

Rational Numbers
An integer or the quotient of two integers

Examples: -249, -1, 0, 3/7, -2/5

Natural Numbers

How many ones are there in 642?

600 + 40 + 2 ?
Or is it
384 + 32 + 2 ?
Or maybe…
1536 + 64 + 2 ?

*
4
Natural Numbers

Aha!

642 is 600 + 40 + 2 in BASE 10

The base of a number determines the number


of digits and the value of digit positions

*
5
Positional Notation

Continuing with our example…


642 in base 10 positional notation is:

6 x 102 = 6 x 100 = 600


+ 4 x 101 = 4 x 10 = 40
+ 2 x 10º = 2 x 1 = 2 = 642 in base 10

The power indicates


the position of
This number is in the number
base 10
*
6
Positional Notation
R is the base
of the number
As a formula: 83

dn * Rn-1 + dn-1 * Rn-2 + ... + d2 * R + d1

n is the number of d is the digit in the


digits in the number ith position
in the number

642 is 63 * 102 + 42 * 10 + 21
*
7
Positional Notation

What if 642 has the base of 13?

+ 6 x 132 = 6 x 169 = 1014


+ 4 x 131 = 4 x 13 = 52
+ 2 x 13º = 2 x 1 = 2
= 1068 in base 10

642 in base 13 is equivalent to 1068


in base 10

Binary

Decimal is base 10 and has 10 digits:


0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Binary is base 2 and has 2 digits:


0,1
For a number to exist in a given base, it can only contain the
digits in that base, which range from 0 up to (but not including)
the base.

What bases can these numbers be in? 122, 198, 178, G1A4

*
9
Bases Higher than 10

How are digits in bases higher than 10


represented?

With distinct symbols for 10 and above.

Base 16 has 16 digits:


0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E, and F

Converting Octal to Decimal

What is the decimal equivalent of the octal


number 642?

6 x 82 = 6 x 64 = 384
+ 4 x 81 = 4 x 8 = 32
+ 2 x 8º = 2 x 1 = 2
= 418 in base 10

*
11
Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal

What is the decimal equivalent of the


hexadecimal number DEF?

D x 162 = 13 x 256 = 3328


+ E x 161 = 14 x 16 = 224
+ F x 16º = 15 x 1 = 15
= 3567 in base 10

Remember, the digits in base 16 are


0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
*
Converting Binary to Decimal

What is the decimal equivalent of the binary


number 1101110?
1 x 26 = 1 x 64 = 64
+ 1 x 25 = 1 x 32 = 32
+ 0 x 24 = 0 x 16 =0
+ 1 x 23 = 1x8 =8
+ 1 x 22 = 1x4 =4
+ 1 x 21 = 1x2 =2
+ 0 x 2º = 0x1 =0
= 110 in base 10

*
13
Arithmetic in Binary

Remember that there are only 2 digits in binary,


0 and 1

1 + 1 is 0 with a carry

Binary Numbers and Computers

Computers have storage units called binary digits or


bits

Low Voltage = 0
High Voltage = 1 all bits have 0 or 1

8 bits

The number of bits in a word determines the word


length of the computer, but it is usually a multiple
of 8
