for example to convert the

56010 to octal 560 / 8 is 70 the

remainder is zero and 70 IDE 8 is 8 with

the remainder of 6 and 8/ 8 is 1 with

the remainder of 0 and 1 / 8 is equals

to 0 with a remainder of 1 so the octal

representation is

10608 for the table of octal digits we

use only three bits to represent octal

numbers

each group has a distinct value between

0 0 0 and 1 one one and octal digits

range from 0 to

7 this is the table of octal digits from

0 to

7 next the decimal

numbers a decimal number consider

of a whole number and a fractional part

separated by a point often called the

decimal

point whole number part represent the

integral value of a quantity it can be

any positive or A negative

integer for example if the decimal

number is

4285 the whole number part is 42 in the

decimal number in -1

123.456 the whole number part is

-13 the fractional part represent a

value smaller than one it appears after

the decimal

point for example in the decimal number

42.85%

Point separates the whole number part

from the fractional part it serve as

visual indicator that we are dealing

with the decimal for example the decimal

point in

4285 separates 42 which is the whole

from 85 the

fractional decimal numbers allows us to

express quantities that are whole plus

some part of a hole they are commonly

encountered in everyday situations such

as grocery shoppings measurements and

financial

calculations lastly the hexadecimal

number often simply called hex is a base

16 numeral system unlike our familiar

base 10 system which uses 10 symbols

which is the 0 to 9 to represent numbers

hexadecimal emplo 16

symbols these symbols include the

numeral 0 to 9 and the letters a to F

each digit in a hexadecimal number

corresponds to specific value allowing

us to express quantities in a compact

and efficient manner hexadecimal uses a

base value of 16 this means that each

column in a hexadecimal number represent

a power of

16 the 16 symbols used in hexadecimal

are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and a b c d e

and f for example the hexadecimal number

is 1 a represent 1 * 16 + 10 is = to 26

in

decimal conversion to other systems

hexit decimal numbers can be converted

to other number systems the decimal base

then each digit is multiplied by the

corresponding power of 16 and sum to

Binary each hexadecimal digit

corresponds to a 4bit binary

representation to octal First convert to

decimal then to octal this conversion
