LESSON SUMMARY
DEFINITION OF NUMBER SYSTEM / BASES
Number systems are the technique to represent numbers (data) in the computer architecture. Normal
everyday measurements / counting utilized in transactions and arithmetic are done in the base 10 (AKA
Decimal) numbering system consisting of ten digits 0-9. The common number systems used in
computing include:
1. Decimal Number system (Base 10) ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
2. Binary Number system (Base 2) ie: 0, 1
3. Octal Number system (Base 8) ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
4. Hexadecimal Number system (Base 16) ie: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F
5. Duo Decimal Number system (Base 12) ie: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B
CONVERSION OF NUMBERS
It is possible to convert from one base to another; for instance converting a number in base base 10 to another
number in any other base.
Examples:
1. Convert 17 to Binary
Solution:
2|17
2|8 R 1
2|4 R 0
2|2 R 0 Remember, the reading of value is done upwards as the arrow signifies
2|1 R 0
|0R1
: 1710 = 100012
2. Convert 1510 to binary
Solution:
2| 15
2| 7 R 1
2| 3 R 1
2| 1 R 1
|0R1
: 1510 = 11112
3. Convert 1510 to base 5
Solution
5|15
5| 3 R 0
|0R3
: 1510 = 305
4. Convert 4910 to base 4
Solution
4| 49
4| 12 R 1
4| 3 R 0
| 0 R3
: 4910 = 3014
CONVERSION BACK TO BASE 10 (DECIMAL)
To convert a number back to decimal (Base10), assign values to the positions of the digits
starting from the rightmost digit as zero gradually to the left digits.
EXAMPLES:
1. Convert 100012 to decimal
Solution:
100012 = 14 03 02 01 10
= 1 x 24 + 0x23 + 0 X 22 + 0 x 21 +1 X20
=16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1
= 1710
: 100012 = 1710
2. Conv ert 3014(base4) to decimal
= 3 x 42 + 0 x 41 + 1 x 40
= 48 + 0 + 1
= 4910
:. 3014 = 4910
3. Convert 2113 (base3) to base 10
= 2 x 32 + 1 x 31 + 1 x30
= 18 + 3 + 1
= 2210
:. 2113 = 2210
CONVERTING FROM ONE BASE TO ANOTHER BASE
To convert from two different number bases that are not decimal, one must first convert to
base 10 (Decimal) before finally converting to the base of choice. Examples:
1. Convert 2113 to binary
Convert to base 10 (decimal) first
= 2 x 32 + 1 x 31 + 1 x 30
= 18 + 3 + 1
= 2210
Then convert 2210 to binary
2|22
2|11 R 0
2| 5 R 1
2| 2 R 1
2| 1 R 0
|0 R1
= 101102
:. 2113 = 101102
2. Convert 101102 to base 5
Solution : 1 x 24 + 0 x 23 + 1 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 0 x 20
= 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 0
= 2210
Then convert to base base 5
5|22
5| 4 R 2
|0R4
= 425
:. 101102 = 425
Try this: convert 125.62510 to binary.
ADDITION, SUBTRACTION AND MULTIPLICATION IN BASES
To add, subtract or multiply in number bases, the bases of the different operands must be
equal.

CONVERTING TO HEXADECIMAL
Remember that the digits in hexadecimal are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F where A=10, B=11,
C=12, D=13, E=14, F = 15
EXAMPLES
1. Convert 7Fh to decimal
Solution
7F = 71, F0
Where F = 15
7Fh = 7 x 161 + 15 x 16
=112 + 15
= 12710 (convert back to hexadecimal and check)
2. Convert 12610 to Hex
Solution
16|126
16| 7 R 14
| 0R 7
12610 = 714
Since 14 = E in Hex
then 12610 = 7E 16
3. Add 8716 to 53116
Solution

5 B 8 16 (Recall that 11 = B in Hex)
--------------
To convert binary numbers into hexadecimals, you only have to make 4-bit groups of the given
binary and convert each group directly. To achieve this easily, you must remember the data
representation in Binary. See the table below for Decimal, Hexadecimal and Binary equivalents
EXAMPLES
1. Convert 1011001101012 to Hex
Solution
101100110101 = 1011, 0011, 0101 where 1011 = B, 0011 = 3, and 0101 = 5
:. 1011001101012 = B3516
2. Convert 10101011101011012 to Hex
Solution (another method)
1010101110101101 = 1010, 1011, 1010, 1101
Convert 1010 to decimal
= 1 x 23 + 02 + 1 x 21 + 00
=8+2
= 10 ie A
Convert 1011 to Decimal
=1 x 23 + 0 + 1 x 21 + 1 x 20
=8+2+1
= 11 ie B
Convert 1101 to Decimal
= 1 x23 + 1 x 22 + 0 + 1 X 20
=8+4+1
= 13 ie D
:. 10101011101011012 = ABAD16
