NOTE

NUMBER BASE SYSTEM

OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM

The octal number system is a base 8 number system, and uses the digits from 0 to 7.

Programs often display in an octal format because it can be translate relatively in binary format, each digit in the octal number system represents a power of base 8.

 

For example the binary representation for decimal 74 is 1001010, which group into 1001010, so the octal representation is 112

1128 = 1 x 82 + 1 x 81 + 2 x 80

= (1 x 64) + (1 x 8) + (2 x 1)

= 64 + 8 + 2

= 74.

 

So, the decimal equivalent of octal number 1128 is 7410. Since there are only 8 digit (0-8) in the octal number system, 3 bits are sufficient to represent an octal number in a binary digits.

With this table, it is easy to translate octal and binary system for example

658 = 110 1012

178 = 001 1112

 

HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM

In the hexadecimal number system is a number with a base of 16, usually written using symbols 0-9 and A-F.

 

For example, the decimal number 79 whose binary representation is 01001111 can be written as 4F in hexadecimal ( 4 = 0100, F = 1111 ) for example 1FF16 = 1 x 132 + F x 161 + F x 160

= 1 x 256 + 15 x 16 + 16 x 1

= 511.

 

Thus, the decimal equivalent of hexadecimal number 1FF16 is 51110. Since there are only 16 digits in the hexadecimal number system, 4 bits are sufficient to represent any hexadecimal number in binary.

 

The current decimal number system was first introduced to the computing world in 1963 by international business machine (IBM). An early version that used the digit 0-9 and u-2 was introduced in 1956, in the Bendix G-15 computer
