INTRODUCTION
Data Representation

Computer is one among the breakthroughs of development in the world. People can use
computers in many ways like accessing information and communicating it with others.

Data represented inside the computer takes the form of an electronic signal. To process,
computers convert data to a series of 1’s and 0’s called binary codes. 1 represents on state and
0 represents off state.

Conversion of Number System

Decimal to Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal

To convert given decimal to its binary format, simply divide the

given by 2 for binary, 8 for octal and 16 for hexadecimal. Write the
quotient and the remainder. If the quotient is greater than or equal
to the base, continue to divide until the last quotient is less than
base. To get the result, start from the last quotient going to the
first remainder.

Example:
