 I. PROGRAM OUTCOME/S (PO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY
EXERCISE
• Apply knowledge through the use of current techniques and tools necessary
for the IT profession [PO: I]
• Understand best practices and standards and their applications. [PO: M]

II. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME/S (CLO) ADDRESSED BY THE

LABORATORY EXERCISE
• To identify computing resources and technologies and understand their
capabilities and limitations. [CLO: 2]
• To select and use appropriate techniques and modern computing tools for
computing activities. [CLO: 3]

III. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME/S (ILO) OF THE LABORATORY

EXERCISE

At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:

• Understand the concepts of number systems.
• Convert one number system into another.
• Perform arithmetic operations involving number systems.

IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Human beings use a 10 based or decimal number system, possibly because we
have ten fingers and ten toes. Computers use a 2 based or binary system
because it can be represented easily in hardware by on-off, open-closed,
charged-uncharged states. For example, a capacitor in RAM memory can be
charged or not charged. A charged state represents a 1 and an uncharged (or
not fully charged) state represents a 0. Likewise, data stored on a hard disk at
the molecular level can be magnetically aligned in one pattern or its opposite.
Each pattern represents a 1 or 0.

 Decimal numbers can be converted to binary numbers, and vice-versa. This is
essential as humans’ work in decimals and computers work in binary.

Two other forms of number representation can be used to represent integers.

They are Octal and Hexadecimal (Hex for short) systems. The first has a base of
8, the second a base of 16.

This lab helps you understand the methods applied in number system
conversion.

system?

16 distinct symbols

3. What number system do we use in our everyday lives?

Binary, Octal, Denary and Hexadecimal are number systems that are used
in different aspects Denary number is the most commonly used number
system which is frequently used in daily life.

4. What number system is commonly used to represent data in

computers?

Binary number representation. Computers represent data in sets of binary
