    This document provides information about different number systems including denary (base 10), binary (base 2), octal (base 8), and hexadecimal (base 16). It explains that each system has a base or radix, which is the number of unique digits used including 0. The place value chart helps represent numerical values using these digits. Examples show how to write numbers in different bases and how to convert between bases by dividing by the radix and determining the remainders. Students are assigned exercises to research binary and hexadecimal and convert base 10 numbers to other bases.

    IMMACULATE CONCEPTION HIGH SCHOOL

    GRADE 12
    NUMBER SYSTEMS HANDOUT & EXERCISE

    A Numeral system (or system of numeration) is a writing system for expressing numbers;
    that is, a mathematical notation for representing numbers of a given set, using digits or other
    symbols in a consistent manner.
    There are many Different Number Systems, the Denary/Decimal number System, Binary,
    Octal, Hexadecimal etc. All of these number systems have what we call a Base or Radix.
    The radix or base is the number of unique digits, including zero, used to represent numbers
    in a positional numeral system. For example, for the decimal system (the most common
    system in use today) the radix is ten, because it uses the ten digits/numerals from 0 through 9.
    These Number systems also have what we call a place value chart that helps us to represent
    various numerical values using these digits/numerals.

    BASE 10 (Denary Number System)


    Number of Numerals: 10
    Numerals: 0 to 9 (0 to n-1)

    Examples of numbers in Base 10:


     2510 (Subscript 10 represents the base of the number)
     102510
    Place Value Chart:
    Base 10 Place Value Chart
    105 104 103 102 101 100
    100,000 10,000 1,000 100 10 1
    2 9 7

    297 in Base 10 actually means


    = 2*102 + 9*101 + 7*100
    = 2*100 + 9*10 + 7*1
    =200 + 90 + 7
    =29710
    BASE 8 (Octal Number System)
    Number of Numerals: 8
    Numerals: 0 to 7 (0 to n-1)

    Examples of numbers in Base 8:


     778 (Subscript 8 represents the base of the number)
     1278

    Place Value Chart:


    Base 10 Place Value Chart
    85 84 83 82 81 80
    32,726 4,096 512 64 8 1
    2 7 7

    What does the number 2778 actually mean in Base 10?


    = 2 * 82 + 9 * 81 + 7 * 80
    = 2*64 + 7*8 + 7*1
    =128 + 56 + 7
    =19110

    Questions
    i. What does the number 3658 represent in Base 10? Show working
    ii. What does the number 77128 represent in Base 10? Show working
    CLASS EXERCISE 1:
    Research the Base 16 (Hexadecimal) and Base 2 (Binary) number systems

    1. BASE 2 (Binary Number System)

    Numerals:
    Examples of numbers in Base 2:
    Place Value Chart:

    Questions
    i. What does the number 100112 represent in Base 10? Show working
    ii. What does the number 111112 represent in Base 10? Show working

    2. BASE 16 (Hexadecimal Number System)


    Number of Numerals:
    Numerals:
    Examples of numbers in Base 8:
    Place Value Chart:

    Questions
    i. What does the number 1AE16 represent in Base 10? Show working
    ii. What does the number CAD16 represent in Base 10? Show working
    Converting From Base 10 to Base n (Base 8)
    Example 1
    4210 to Base 8

    Solution Method 1
    42 / 8 = 5 remainder 2
    5/ 8 = 0 remainder 5
    Ans = 528

    Solution Method 2
    Divisor Dividend/Quotient Remainder
    8 42 2
    8 5 5
    0

    Ans = 528

    Example 2
    9510 to Base 8

    Solution Method 1
    95 / 8 = 11 remainder 7
    11 / 8 = 1 remainder 3
    1/8 =0 remainder 1
    Ans = 1378

    Solution Method 2
    Divisor Dividend/Quotient Remainder
    8 95 7
    8 11 3
    8 1 1
    0
    Ans = 1378

    N.B. Converting to base 2 or 16 is the same as converting to 8 just change the divisor to
    the radix for that number system.
    Questions

    1. Convert the following base 10 numbers to base 2 base 8 and base 16:
    a. 25
    b. 101
    c. 77
