Lec 02
 A number system defines how a number can
be represented using distinct symbols. A
number can be represented differently in
different system.
 Several number systems have been used in
the past and can be categorized into two
groups: positional and non-positional
systems.
Roman numerals are a good example of a
non-positional number system. This number
system has a set of symbols
S = {I, V, X, L, C, D, M}. The values of each
symbol are shown in Table.
 To find the value of a number, we need to
add the value of symbols subject to specific
rules
 In positional number system, there are only
few symbols called digits, and these symbols
represent different values depending on the
position they occupy in the number.
Commonly used number systems are:
 Decimal
 Binary
 Octal
 Hexadecimal
Why do we need more number systems?
• Humans understand decimal
• Digital electronics (computers) understand binary
• Since computers have 32, 64, and even 128 bit
busses, displaying numbers in binary is cumbersome
• Data on a 32 bit data bus would look like the
following:
0110 1001 0111 0001 0011 0100 1100 1010
• Hexadecimal (base 16) and octal (base 8) number
systems are used to represent binary data in a more
compact form.
 The word decimal is a derivative of decem,
which is the Latin word for ten.
 The number system that we use day-to-day life
is called the Decimal number system.
 The most popular & commonly used number
system is the Decimal number system as it
supports the entire mathematical & accounting
concept in the world.
 The base is equal to ten because there are
altogether ten digits (1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)10
 The binary number system uses two digits to
represent numbers, the values are 0 & 1. This
numbering system is sometime called the Base 2
numbering system (0,1).
 Binary digit is often referred to by the common
abbreviation BIT. Thus, a “bit” in a computer
terminology means either a 0 or a 1.
 This number system is natural to an electronic
machines or devices as their mechanism based on the
OFF or ON switching of the circuits.
 Therefore, 0 represent the OFF & 1 represent ON
state of the circuit.
 The octal number system uses eight values to
represent numbers. The values are (0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7)8 and the base of this system is
eight.
 The hexadecimal number system has 16-
digits or symbols (hexa means six & decimal
means 10 so sum is sixteen) are (0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5,6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F)16, so it has the
base 16.
 This system uses numerical values from 0 to
9 & alphabets from A to F.
 Alphabets A to F represent decimal numbers
from 10 to 15.

 Technique
 Multiply each bit by 2n, where n is the “weight”
of the bit
 The weight is the position of the bit, starting
from 0 on the right
 Add the results

• What is the value of “k”, “M”, and “G”?
• In computing, particularly w.r.t. memory,
the base-2 interpretation generally applies
 For common bases, add powers
