Understanding Number Systems
Different number systems use different bases to represent values. The base determines how many unique digits are available.
Number Systems Explained
- Binary (Base 2): Uses 0 and 1. Common in computing and digital electronics. Each position represents a power of 2.
- Octal (Base 8): Uses digits 0-7. Sometimes used in computing as a more compact representation than binary.
- Decimal (Base 10): Uses digits 0-9. The standard number system used in everyday life.
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): Uses 0-9 and A-F. Widely used in programming and computer science for representing colors, memory addresses, etc.
Common Use Cases
- Binary: Computer logic, bit manipulation, network masks
- Octal: Unix file permissions (chmod)
- Decimal: Everyday calculations
- Hexadecimal: Color codes (#FF5733), memory addresses, MAC addresses
