1.The concept of number
systems
A number system defines how a number can
be represented using distinct symbols
A number can be represented differently in
different systems
Ex :
II 1+1 = 2
VI 5+1 = 6
Ex :
IV 5-1 = 4
To find the value of a number, we need to
specific rules:
2.2 POSTIONAL NUMBER
SYSTEMS
In a positional number system, the position a
symbol occupies in the number determines the
value it represents.
2.2 POSTIONAL NUMBER
SYSTEMS
In this system, a number represented as
The word decimal is derived from the Latin root decem (ten). In
this system the base b = 10 and we use ten symbols
In this system the base b = 2 and we use only two symbols, S = {0, 1}.
1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
N= 2^0x0+2^1x0+2^2x0+2^3x1+2^4x0+2^5x1=2^6x0+2^7x1=168
Convert a number in hexadecimal to a
number in the decimal system.
Place values for an integer in the hexadecimal system

Summary
❑❑ A number system (or numeral system) is a system that uses distinct symbols to represent a number
❑❑ In the decimal system, the base b =10 and we use ten symbols to represent numbers. The symbols
in this system are often referred to as decimal digits or just digits. In the binary system, the base b=2
and we use only two symbols to represent numbers. The symbols in this system are often referred to as
binary digits or bits. In a hexadecimal system, the base = 16 and we use 16 symbols to represent
numbers. The symbols in this system are often referred to as hexadecimal digits. In an octal system,
the base b = 8 and we use eight symbols to represent numbers. The symbols in this system are often
referred to as octal digits.
❑❑ Conversion from the binary system to the octal system and from the octal system to the binary system
❑❑ Conversion from the binary system to the hexadecimal system and from the hexadecimal
