DATA REPRESANTATION

Human beings use decimal (base 10) number system for counting .Computers use
Binary (base 2) number system ,as they are made from binary digital components(known as
transistors) operating in two states –on and off. In computing, we also use hexadecimal (base 16)
or octal (base 8)
Base ten or decimal number system
Decimal number system has ten symbol:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8and 9 called digits .It uses positional
notation, i.e. the least –significant figure is the right most digit e.g. 2345 in the example 5 is the
least significant figure.
Each digit in the binary number represents a power of two.
Convert 1011001012 to the corresponding decimal number.
I will list up the digits in order, and count them off from the right starting with zero.
The first row above (labelled ‘digits’) contains the power 2 (the base) corresponding to each digit
