Number System and Its Conversion

Short Answer Type Questions-II

Question 1:
Explain octal and hexadecimal number.
Answer:
Octal (base 8) was previously a popular choice for representing digital circuit numbers in a form that is more compact than binary. Octal is sometimes abbreviated as oct. Octal counting goes as :
0,1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,20, 21 and so on.
Hexadecimal (base 16) is currently the most popular choice for representing digital circuit numbers in a form that is more compact than binary. Hexadecimal numbers are sometimes represented by preceding the value with ‘Ox’, as in 0x1 B84. Hexadecimal is sometimes abbreviated as hex. Hexadecimal counting goes :
0,1,2, 3,4,5, 6, 7, 8,9, A, B, C, D, E, F, and so on. 3

Question 2:
Explain decimal and binary number.
Answer:
Decimal (base 10) is the way most human beings represent numbers. Decimal is sometimes abbreviated as dec. Decimal counting goes :
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 and so on.
Binary (base 2) is the natural way most digital circuits represent and manipulate numbers. Binary numbers are sometimes represented by preceding the value with ‘Ob’, as in Ob1O11. Binary is sometimes abbreviated as bin.
Binary counting goes as : 0,1,10,11,100,101,110,
111, 1000, 1oo1, 1010,1011, 11oo, 1101, 1110, 1111,10000,10001 and so on. 3

Question 3:
Convert (259)10 to binary form.
Answer:

Therefore : (259)₁₀ =(100000011)₂.

Question 4:
Convert (17.35)₁₀ to binary form.
Answer:

Now we have to convert the fractional part, that means the part after decimal:

Question 5:
Convert (39286)₁₀ to octal form.
Answer:

(39286)₁₀ = (114566)₈

Question 6:
Convert (0.2)₁₀ to the binary form.
Answer:

(0.2)₁₀= (0.0011)₂

Question 7:
Convert (423.03125)10 to octal form.
Answer:

second we convert the fraction part by multiplying fraction part by 8 repeatedly.

Question 8:
Fill the correct entry.              3
