As, we have four types of number systems so each one
can be converted into the remaining three systems.
These are the following conversions possible in
Number System
• Binary to other Number Systems.
• Decimal to other Number Systems.
• Octal to other Number Systems.
• Hexadecimal to other Number Systems.

Decimal to Other Base System
For converting decimal to binary, there are two steps
required to perform, which are as follows:
Convert the integral part of decimal to Other Base System
• In the first step, we perform the division operation on the
integer and the successive quotient with the base of the
new system.
Convert the fractional part of decimal to Other Base System
• Next, we perform the multiplication on the integer and the
successive quotient with the base of the new system .

Ex 1: Decimal to Binary
• (10.25)10
• Note: Keep multiplying the fractional part with 2 until
decimal part 0.00 is obtained. (0.25)10 = (0.01)2
• Answer: (10.25)10 = (1010.01)2

• Ex 2: (152.25)10
(152)10=(10011000)2
(0.25)10=(.01)2

Decimal to Octal
Ex 1: (10.25)10
(10)10 = (12)8
Fractional part:
0.25 x 8 = 2.00
Note: Keep multiplying the fractional part with 8 until decimal part .00 is
obtained. (.25)10 = (.2)8
Answer: (10.25)10 = (12.2)8
Ex 2: (152.25)10
(152)10=(230)8
(0.25)10=(2)8
• So, the octal number of the decimal number 152.25 is 230.2

Decimal to Hexa:
• Ex1: (10.25)10
(10)10 = ( ? )16
Answer ???
• Ex2: (152.25)10
(152)10=(98)16
(0.25)10=(4)16
So, the hexadecimal number of the decimal number
152.25 is 98.4

Other Base System to Decimal System
The process starts from multiplying the
digits of given number with its corresponding
positional weights. And lastly, we add all those
products.

Binary to Decimal
• Ex 1: (1010.01)2 convert into decimal
1×23 + 0x22 + 1×21+ 0x20 + 0x2 -1 + 1×2 -2 = 8+0+2+0+0+0.25 = 10.25
(1010.01)2 = (10.25)10
• Ex 2: (10110.001)2
We multiplied each bit of (10110.001)2 with its respective positional weight, and last
we add the products of all the bits with its weight.
(10110.001)2=(1×24)+(0×23)+(1×22)+(1×21)+(0×20)+ (0×2-1)+(0×2-2)+(1×2-3)
(10110.001)2=(1×16)+(0×8)+(1×4)+(1×2)+(0×1)+ (0×1⁄2)+(0×1⁄4)+(1×1⁄8)
(10110.001)2=16+0+4+2+0+0+0+0.125
(10110.001)2=(22.125 )10

Octal to Decimal
• Ex 1: (12.2)8
1 x 81 + 2 x 80 +2 x 8-1 = 8+2+0.25 = 10.25
(12.2)8 = (10.25)10
• Ex 2: (152.25)8
(152.25)8=(1×82)+(5×81)+(2×80)+(2×8-1)+(5×8-2)
(152.25)8=64+40+2+(2×1⁄8)+(5×1⁄64)
(152.25)8=64+40+2+0.25+0.078125
(152.25)8=106.328125
• So, the decimal number of the octal number 152.25
is 106.328125

Hexa to Decimal
• Ex 1: (152A.25)16
• We multiply each digit of 152A.25 with its
respective positional weight, and last we add
the products of all the bits with its weight.
(152A.25)16=(1×163)+(5×162)+(2×161)+(A×160)+(2×16-1)+(5×16-2)
(152A.25)16=(1×4096)+(5×256)+(2×16)+(10×1)+(2×16-1)+(5×16-2)
(152A.25)16=4096+1280+32+10+(2×1⁄16)+(5×1⁄256)
(152A.25)16=5418+0.125+0.125
(152A.25)16=5418.14453125
• So, the decimal number of the hexadecimal
number 152A.25 is 5418.14453125

Binary to Octal Conversion
• In a binary number, the pair of three bits is equal to one octal digit.
• In the first step, we have to make the pairs of three bits on both sides of the
binary point. If there will be one or two bits left in a pair of three bits pair, we
add the required number of zeros on extreme sides.
• In the second step, we write the octal digits corresponding to each pair.
Ex 1: (111110101011.0011)2
Step 1. Firstly, we make pairs of three bits on both sides of the binary point.
111 110 101 011. 001 1
On the right side of the binary point, the last pair has only one bit. To make
it a complete pair of three bits, we added two zeros on the extreme side.
111 110 101 011. 001 100
Step 2. Then, we wrote the octal digits, which correspond to each pair.
(111110101011.0011)2=(7653.14)8

Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion
• In a binary number, the pair of four bits is equal to one hexadecimal digit.
• In the first step, we have to make the pairs of four bits on both sides of the
binary point. If there will be one, two, or three bits left in a pair of four bits
pair, we add the required number of zeros on extreme sides.
• In the second step, we write the hexadecimal digits corresponding to each
pair.
Ex1: (10110101011.0011)2
Step 1. Firstly, we make pairs of four bits on both sides of the binary point.
111 1010 1011.0011
On the left side of the binary point, the first pair has three bits. To make it a
complete pair of four bits, add one zero on the extreme side.
0111 1010 1011.0011
Step 2. Then, we write the hexadecimal digits, which correspond to each pair.
(011110101011.0011)2=(7AB.3)16

Octal to Binary Conversion
• The process of converting octal to binary is the
reverse process of binary to octal. We write the
three bits binary code of each octal number digit.
Ex1: (152.25)8
We write the three-bit binary digit for 1, 5, 2, and 5.
(152.25)8=(001 101 010. 010 101)2
So, the binary number of the octal number
152.25 is (001101010.010101)2

Octal to hexadecimal conversion
• For converting octal to hexadecimal, there are
two steps required to perform, which are as
follows:
Octal to Binary then Binary to Hexa
• In the first step, we will find the binary
equivalent of the given number .
• Next, we have to make the pairs of four bits
on both sides of the binary point. If there will
be one, two, or three bits left in a pair of four
bits pair, we add the required number of zeros
on extreme sides and write the hexadecimal
digits corresponding to each pair.T.Srikrishna, M.Sc, M.Tech. GVP

Ex1: (152.25)8 convert into Hexa decimal number
Step 1 ( Octal to Binary)
We write the three-bit binary digit for 1, 5, 2, and 5.
(152.25)8=(001101010.010101)2
So, the binary number of the octal number 152.25
is (001101010.010101)2
Step 2 ( Binary to Hexa):
• Now, we make pairs of four bits on both sides of the binary point.
0 0110 1010. 0101 01
• On the left side of the binary point, the first pair has only one digit,
and on the right side, the last pair has only two-digit. To make them
complete pairs of four bits, add zeros on extreme sides.
0000 0110 1010. 0101 0100
• Now, we write the hexadecimal digits, which correspond to each
pair.
(0000 0110 1010.0101 0100)2=(6A.54)16

Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion
• The process of converting hexadecimal to binary
is the reverse process of binary to hexadecimal.
We write the four bits binary code of each
hexadecimal number digit.
Ex1: (152A.25)16
• We write the four-bit binary digit for 1, 5, A, 2,
and 5.
(152A.25)16=(0001 0101 0010 1010.0010 0101)2
So, the binary number of the hexadecimal number
152.25 is (1010100101010.00100101)2

Hexadecimal to Octal Conversion
• For converting hexadecimal to octal, there are
two steps required to perform, which are as
follows:
Hexa to Binary then Binary to Octal
• In the first step, we will find the binary equivalent
of the hexadecimal number.
• Next, we have to make the pairs of three bits on
both sides of the binary point. If there will be one
or two bits left in a pair of three bits pair, we add
the required number of zeros on extreme sides
and write the octal digits corresponding to each
pair.

Ex1: (152A.25)16
Step 1 ( Hexa to Binary) :
• We write the four-bit binary digit for 1, 5, 2, A, and 5.
• (152A.25)16=(0001 0101 0010 1010. 0010 0101)2
Step 2 ( Binary to Octal) :
• Then, we make pairs of three bits on both sides of the
binary point.
001 010 100 101 010. 001 001 010
• Then, we write the octal digit, which corresponds to
each pair.
(001010100101010.001001010)2=(12452.112)8
• So, the octal number of the hexadecimal number
152A.25 is 12452.112
