NUMBER SYSTEM

 NUMBER SYSTEM 

When we type some letters or words, the computer translates them in numbers as computers can understand only numbers. A computer can understand the positional number system where there are only a few symbols called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they occupy in the number.

The value of each digit in a number can be determined using −

  • The digit

  • The position of the digit in the number

  • The base of the number system (where the base is defined as the total number of digits available in the number system)


DIFFERENT TYPE OF NUMBER SYSTEM;


The classification of numbers systems on the basis of base can be understood from the below diagram.

Number System

Number systemBaseUsed digits
Binary20,1
Octal80,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Decimal100,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Hexadecimal160,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A,B,C,D,E,F     

    

1.BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM;

                 The modern computers do not process the decimal numbers.

       . They only work with a binary number system.

       . It uses only two digits 0 and 2. 

       . The base of binary number system is 2  because it has only two digits.  

       . The digital electronics equipment's are works on the binary number system.

2.DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

         .The number system is having digit 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

         . Total ten digits are involved. So that base of the decimal number system is 10.

3.OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

           .Uses eight digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. 

          . Also called '' base 8 number system''

          . Each position in an octal number represents a 0 power of the base (8)

4.HEXADECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM;

           .These4 numbers are used extensively in microprocessor.

              .The hexadecimal number system has a base of 16.

               .It consists of the following sixteen numbers of digits ( 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F )

               .Letters represents number starting from

                                        A=10
                                        B=11
                                        C=12
                                        D=13
                                        E=14
                                        F=15
                                        G=16

NUMBER SYSTEM CONVERSION

NUMBER BASE CONVERSION                     In our previous section, we learned different types of number systems such as binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal. In this part of the tutorial, we will learn how we can change a number from one number system to another number system. As, we have four types of number systems so each one can be converted into the remaining three systems. There are the following conversions possible in Number System Binary to other Number Systems. Decimal to other Number Systems. Octal to other Number Systems. Hexadecimal to other Number Systems.                                                                                                          ...

CONONICAL FORMS (SOP AND POS)

  CONONICAL FORMS The use of switching devices like transistors give rise to a special case of the Boolean algebra called as switching algebra. In switching algebra, all the variables assume one of the two values which are 0 and 1. In Boolean algebra, 0 is used to represent the ‘open’ state or ‘false’ state of logic gate. Similarly, 1 is used to represent the ‘closed’ state or ‘true’ state of logic gate. A Boolean expression is an expression which consists of variables, constants (0-false and 1-true) and logical operators which results in true or false. TWO TYPE OF CONONICAL FORMS; A Boolean function is an algebraic form of Boolean expression. A Boolean function of n-variables is represented by f(x1, x2, x3….xn). By using Boolean laws and theorems, we can simplify the Boolean functions of digital circuits. A brief note of different ways of representing a Boolean function is shown below. Sum-of-Products (SOP) Form Product-of-sums (POS) form Canonical forms There are two types of can...

BINARY ARITHMETIC

 BINARY ARITHMETIC                         Binary arithmetic  is used in digital systems mainly because the numbers (decimal and floating-point numbers) are stored in  binary  format in most computer systems. All  arithmetic  operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are done in  binary  representation of numbers.       1) BINARY ADDITION; Binary Addition   It is a key for  binary  subtraction, multiplication, division. There are  four rules of  binary addition .  In fourth case, a  binary addition  is creating a sum of (1 + 1 = 10) i.e. 0 is written in the given column and a carry of 1 over to the next column.     Basic  arithmetic  operations like  addition , subtraction, multiplication, and division, play  an important role in mathematics .        ...
