Number System CLASS 10
In a digital system, the system can understand only the optional number system. In
these systems, digits symbols are used to represent different values, depending on the
index from which it settled in the number system.
In simple terms, for representing the information, we use the number system in the
digital system.
1. The digit
2. The index, where the digit is present in the number.
3. Finally, the base numbers, the total number of digits available in the number system.
Note: When the number system represents a digit from 0 - 9, the base of the number will be
10.
Characteristics:
Examples:
The position in the decimal number system specifies the power of the base (10). The 0 is
the minimum value of the digit, and 9 is the maximum value of the digit. For example,
the decimal number 2541 consist of the digit 1 in the unit position, 4 in the tens
position, 5 in the hundreds position, and 2 in the thousand positions and the value will
be written as:
0 000
1 001
2 010
3 011
4 100
5 101
6 110
7 111

1011 B
1100 C
1101 D
1110 E
1111 F
Examples:
In the above, dn-1 to d0 is the integer part, then follows a radix point, and then
d-1 to d-m is the fractional part.
dn-1 = Most significant bit (MSB)
d-m = Least significant bit (LSB)
Note: Keep multiplying the fractional part with 2 until decimal part 0.00 is
obtained.
(0.25)10 = (0.01)2
Answer: (10.25)10 = (1010.01)2
2. Binary to Decimal Number System
To convert from binary to decimal, start multiplying the exponent of 2 with
each digit of the number in decreasing order. If the number contains
fractional part then will divide it by the exponent of 2.
Example
(1010.01)2
1x23 + 0x22 + 1x21+ 0x20 + 0x2 -1 + 1x2 -2 = 8+0+2+0+0+0.25 = 10.25
(1010.01)2 = (10.25)10
3. Decimal to Octal Number System
To convert from decimal to octal, start dividing decimal number by 8, and
whatever the reminder getting, writing down from bottom to top, and that will
be the octal number representation of the decimal number. And the number
contains fractional part, then multiply 8 in the fractional part.
Example
(10.25)10
(10)10 = (12)8
Fractional part:
0.25 x 8 = 2.00
Note: Keep multiplying the fractional part with 8 until decimal part .00 is
obtained.
(.25)10 = (.2)8
Answer: (10.25)10 = (12.2)8
