5. DECIMAL
In the world of computers, numbers are
represented using different systems. The most
common system is the binary system, which
uses only the digits 0 and 1 to represent all
numbers and data. Each digit in a binary number
is called a bit. Another important system is the
hexadecimal system, which uses the digits 0-9
and letters A-F to represent numbers. Computers
also use the octal system, which uses digits 0-7.
WHAT IS NUMBER SYSTEM?
A number system is a method of
representing numbers using specific rules. It
provides a consistent way to express
numerical values. In mathematics, we use
various number systems to represent and
manipulate numbers
HERE ARE THE FOUR MOST
COMMON TYPES:
1. Decimal Number System (Base-10):
The decimal system uses ten digits: 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Each position to the left of the decimal
point represents powers of 10 (units, tens,
hundreds, thousands, etc.).
2. Binary Number System (Base-2):
The binary system uses only two
digits: 0 and 1.
It is widely used in computer
science and digital electronics.
3. Octal Number System (Base-8):
The octal system uses eight digits: 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
It is less common but still used in some
contexts.
4. Hexadecimal Number System (Base-16):
•The hexadecimal system uses sixteen
digits: 0–9 and letters A–F (where A
represents 10, B represents 11, and
so on).
ASSESSMENT
1. Which number system uses letters?
2. Why is the binary system used in the
computers?
3. How many unique digit does a decimal number
system use to represent all the numbers.
4. What is the purpose of using different number
systems in computers?
ANSWER:
1. HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM
2. BECAUSE IT IS WIDELY USED IN COMPUTER
SCIENCE AND DIGITAL ELECTRONICS
3. TEN DIGITS
4. THE PURPOSE OF USING NUMBER SYSTEM IN
COMPUTER IS TO PROVIDES A CONSISTENT
WAY TO EXPRESS NUMERICAL VALUES.
