INTRODUCTION
Computers understand machine language only. Every
instruction given to the computer gets converted into machine
language. This language comprises of numbers. To understand
it, one has needed to have a better understanding of the
number system. The number system is a way to represent or
express numbers. You have heard of various types of number
systems such as the whole numbers and the real numbers. But
in the context of computers, we define other types of number
systems. In this lesson, we are going to discuss the 4 types of
computer number systems and their comparison through a
conversion table.

NUMBER SYSTEM
When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as computers can
understand only numbers. A computer can understand positional number system where there are
only a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the
position they occupy in the number.

ABSTRACTIO
 51

A value of each digit in a number can be

determined using
1. The digit
2. The position of the digit in the number
3. The base of the number system (where base is
defined as the total number of digits available in the
number system).

ABSTRACTIO
 As mention earlier, the
52

technique to represent
and work with numbers
is called the number
system.

System characters are used.
- The mathematical term for the base of a number
system is radix.
- The symbols used are called Arabic numerals
consisting of 10 symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). The
radix or the base of a decimal system is ten (10).

- this system is simpler than the decimal number system

because it uses only two characters.
- The binary number system is used in digital electronics
because digital circuits have only two states (two signal
Binary levels).
Number - This is ideal for computer processing because the “1” is
System used to denote electrical pulse or signal and “0” is used
to denote the absence of such signal.
- The binary notations “0” and “1” are called bits, which is
an acronym for BInarydigiTs. Often when referring to
binary numbers you will hear the terms “LSB” (least
significant bit) and “MSB” (most significant bit).

ABSTRACTIO

- These are very much like the terms we use when speaking of
decimal numbers. In decimal numbers, we refer to the most
Binary
significant digit (MSD) and the least significant digit (LSD).
- The LSB is the bit with the least weight. The MSB is the bit with
Number
the greatest weight. Normally, binary numbers are shown with System
the MSB as the leftmost bit.

Example:

The radix or the base of a binary system is two (2).

Why is the hexadecimal numbering system used?

We know that no electronic system uses 16

different levels in the way that binary
electronics uses two different levels. This
system is not required by the machines. It is
a convenience for people. The hexadecimal
numbering system is used in the world of
computers as a shorthand technique.

ABSTRACTIO
 67

You can see that there is a very real problem because of

their length.
For example, many computers use an 8-bit word.
That is, when they work with a binary number, it has 8 bits.
Stop and This 8-bit number has just as many characters as the decimal

shorthand method to reduce the length of binary numbers.

Sixteen, as we know, is the

fourth power of 2. That is,
16 = 24 . Each of the 16
hexadecimal characters (0
through F) can be
represented by a 4-bit
binary number, that is,
00002 to 11112. This means
that one hexadecimal
character can serve as a
shorthand notation for a 4-
bit binary number.
