Binary number system A binary number system is one of the four types of number system. In computer applications, where binary numbers are represented by only two symbols or digits, i.e. 0 (zero) and 1(one). The binary numbers here are expressed in the base-2 numeral system. For example, (101) 2 is a binary number .
Octal number system The octal numeral system is the base-8 number system, and uses the digits 0 to 7. That means there are only 8 symbols or digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) used to form other numbers. The main advantage of using the octal number system is that it uses fewer digits than the decimal and hexadecimal number system.
Decimal number system decimal system, in mathematics, positional numeral system employing 10 as the base and requiring 10 different numerals, the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It also requires a dot (decimal point) to represent decimal fractions.
Hexadecimal The hexadecimal number system is a type of number system, that has a base value equal to 16. It is also pronounced sometimes as 'hex'. Hexadecimal numbers are represented by only 16 symbols. These symbols or values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F. Each digit represents a decimal value.
