Common numbering systems are:
Binary [base = 2]:
Uses 2 symbols: 0 and 1.
Decimal [base = 10]:
Uses 10 symbols: 0, 1, 2,…, 9.
Hexadecimal [base = 16] : Base 16 A B C D E F
Uses 16 symbol: 0, 1, 2, …, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Base 10 10 11 12 13 14 15
Octal [base = 8]:
Uses 8 symbols: 0, 1, 2, …, 7.
Changing a Binary Number to a Decimal Number
Example: 1101.10112 = 1 x 23 +1 x 22 + 0 x 21 + 1 x 20 + 1 x 2-1+ 0 x 2-2 +1 x 2-3 +1 x 2-4
= 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 + 0.5 + 0 + 0.125 + 0.0625 = 13.687510
Now you try some:
100010112 = 139 (base 10)
1010.0112 = 10.375 (base 10)
Changing a Decimal Number to a Binary Number
Example: 15710=100111012
157/2 1
78/2 0
39/2 1
19/2 1
9/2 1
4/2 0
2/2 0
1/2 1 read
0
Now you try some:
13910 = 10001011 (base 2)
12.87510= 1100.111 (base 2)
Changing an Octal Number to a Decimal Number
Example: 537028 = 5 x 84 + 3 x 83 + 7 x 82 + 0 x 81 + 2 x 80= 2246610
Now you try some:
4368 = 286 (base 10)
362.358 = 242.453125 (base 10)

Now you try some:
68210 = 1252 (base 8)
7.1610= 7.12172 (base 8)
Changing a Hexadecimal Number to a Decimal Number
Example: 537CA16 =5 x 164 + 3 x 163 + 7 x 162 + C x 161 + A x 160= 34186610
Now you try some:
EDA16 = 3802 (base 10)
42A.1216 = 1066.0703125 (base 10)
Changing a Decimal Number to a Hexadecimal Number
Example: 21510 = D716
215/16 7
13/16 13

Now you try some:
100010112 = 8B (base 16)
111011.0112 = 3B.6 (base 16)
Changing a Hexadecimal Number to a Binary Number
Example: A3D916 =10100011110110012
A 3 D 9
1010 0011 1101 1001
Now you try some:
29C16 = 1010011100 (base 2)
9E.AF216 = 10011110.101011110010 (base 2)
Changing a Binary Number to a Octal Number
Example: 11010010102=15128
I added two
zeroes on the left
to create a triad. 001 101 001 010
1 5 1 2
Now you try some:
100010112 = 213 (base 8)
1101.01112 = 15.34 (base 8)
Changing an Octal Number to a Binary Number
Example: 6300768=1100110000001111102
6 3 0 0 7 6
110 011 000 000 111 110
Now you try some:
2358 = 10011101 (base 2)
47.3218 = 100111.011010001 (base 2)
Changing a Hexadecimal Number to an Octal Number
Example: A4516= 51158
A 4 5
1010 0100 0101 (rewritten in binary)
101 001 001 101 (regrouped the binary digits into groups of three)
5 1 1 5
Now you try some:
A72E 16 = 123456 (base 8)
C.E16= 14.7 (base 8)
