 Number Systems
A set of values used to represent different
quantities is known asNumber System
The digital computer represents all kinds of
data and information in binary numbers
The total number of digits used in a number
system is called its base or radix.

 Decimal number System

The decimal number system is used in

general. However, the computers use binary
number system.
The Decimal Number System consists of
ten digits from 0 to 9.
These digits can be used to represent any
numeric value.
The base of decimal number system is 10.
