    Com-1(Number System)

    Evaluation: D
    Q(1) What is a number system?
    Ans:
    Number System is a way to represent numbers in computer
    architecture.

    There are four different types of the number system, such as: Binary
    number system (base 2), Decimal number system (base 10), Octal
    number system (base 8), and Hexadecimal (base 16).

    Q(2) Describe the different number system.


    Ans:
    The different number systems are as follows:

     Binary number system contains two digits: 0 and 1.


     Decimal number system contains 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
     Octal number system contains 8 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
     Hexadecimal number system contains 16 digits:
    0123456789ABCDEF
    ****

    Decimal, Octal and Hexadecimal numbers can each be represented by


    using Binary numbers. This enables these number systems to be
    represented on a computer by converting them into Binary number
    system [0 or 1 (OFF represented by 0 and ON represented by 1)].

    Q(3) Define the term ‘base’.


    Ans:
    Base is defined as the total number of digits in the number system.

    Examples:

    Binary number system has base of two values: 0 and 1.

    Decimal number system has base of ten values: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.

    Q Why are subscripts used to convert numbers from binary to


    decimal, or decimal to binary?
    Ans:
    When we convert numbers from binary to decimal, or decimal to
    binary, subscripts are used to avoid errors. Converting binary to
    decimal (base-2 to base-10) or decimal to binary numbers (base10 to
    base-2) can be done in a number of different ways as shown above.
    Q:(5) Which nuber system is used in digital computers?
    Ans:
    Generally, a binary number system is used in the digital computers. In
    this number system, it carries only two digits, either 0 or 1.

    Expanded form: The decimal number system is a positional value
    system. We use the place system in Mathematics: units, tens,
    hundreds, thousands, and so on. This method is known as expanded
    form.

    Example: If the number is 9703 then, 9 represents 9 thousand, 7


    represents 7 hundreds, 0 represents 0 tens and 3 represents 3 units
    and its value can be written as:

    (9×-1000) + (7×100) + (0×10) + (3×1)

    (9× 103) + (7×102) + (0×101) + (3×100)

    9000 + 700 + 0 +3

    9703.

    LSD: The rightmost digit of a number has the lowest weight and
    hence it is called List Significant Digit.

    MSD: The leftmost digit of a number has the highest weight and
    hence it is called Most Significant Digit.
    Recap:
     Binary number system contains two digits: 0 and 1.
     Decimal number system contains 10 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
     Octal number system contains 8 digits: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
     Hexadecimal number system contains 16 digits:
    0123456789ABCDEF
     A binary system has only 0 level and 1 level giving a base of 2.
     The rightmost digit of a number has the lowest weight and hence
    it is called List Significant Digit.
     The leftmost digit of a number has the highest weight and hence
    it is called Most Significant Digit.
     A decimal number can be converted to a binary number by using
    the repeated division-by-2 method.
