Number System
Computer uses the binary system. Any physical system that can exist in two
distinct states (e.g., 0-1, on-off, hi-lo, yes-no, up-down, north-south, etc.) has the potential
of being used to represent numbers or characters.
A binary digit is called a bit. There are two possible states in a bit, usually
expressed as 0 and 1.
A series of eight bits strung together makes a byte, much as 12 makes a dozen.
With 8 bits, or 8 binary digits, there exist 28=256 possible combinations. The
following table shows some of these combinations. (The number enclosed in parentheses
represents the decimal equivalent.)

You may regard each digit as a box that can hold a number. In the binary system,
there can be only two choices for this number — either a “0” or 1”.
In the octal system, there can be eight possibilities: “0”,“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”.
In the decimal system, there are ten different numbers that can enter the digit: box: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, 45” “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”.
In the hexadecimal system, we allow 16 numbers: “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”,“6”, “7”, “8”,
“9” “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, and “F”.
The binary number system or base =2 number system represents numeric values
using two symbols, 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional
notation with a radix of 2. Owing to its straightforward implementation in digital electronic
circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used internally by all modern computers.

Conversion of Number System
A. Base 2 to Base 10
Examples:

Quiz/Activity:
Note: Number System to Decimal
a) Multiply the leftmost digit by the base number n then add the next digit to the
product.
b) Multiply the sum of rule the base n and then add again the next digit to the
product.
c) If the right most digit is already added, the operation will automatically stop
and the resulting sum in the actual decimal equivalent.
B. Base 2 to Base 8
Example:
34
C. Base 2 to Base 16
Example:

Decimal System
• The decimal (Base ten/10) number system, used in mathematics for writing
numbers and performing arithmetic.
• The Dewey Decimal System, a subject classification system used in libraries.
• The Decimal currency system, where each unit of currency can be divided into
100 sub-units.
A. Base 10 to Base 2
Examples:
4418
Note: In converting decimal to binary every remainder that is greater than zero is
considered one since binary only accepts two values which is 0 and 1.
Rules:
1. Divide the given number by the base n until the quotient is no longer
divisible.
2. Generate the achieved remainders from bottom to top and the last quotient
will be generated as the leftmost digit.

B. Base 10 to Base 8
Examples:
C. Base 10 to Base 16
Examples:
1B916
Note: In Decimal conversion always divided the number to the base (n) in which it
is to be converted, stop when you reach 0 as your quotient and read remainder
upward.
A. Base 8 to Base 2
Examples:
7|Page
B. Base 8 to Base 10
Examples:
C. Base 8 to Base 16
Examples:
Note: In Octal conversion, the values are always into 3 groups and after getting the
equivalent value read the value upward.
Binary to Hexadecimal
a. Begin at the binary point (rightmost digit) and black off groups of four binary
digits.
b. Replace each group of three binary with its equivalent hexadecimal digit arrange
from 0-15.

Conversion of Hexadecimal to any Number System
A. Base 16 to Base 2
Examples:
B. Base 16 to Base 10
Examples:
Replace each octal digit with equivalent three binary digit each hexadecimal
with the equivalent four binary digit.
9|Page
C. Base 16 to Base 8
Examples:
Note: In converting Hexadecimal to Octal get first the binary value, then group into 3
digits each group.
