# Number System
Number system is a mathematical system for expressing numbers. A number system consists of a set of symbols that are used to represent numbers, and a set of rules for manipulating those symbols. The symbols used in a number system are called numerals. The symbols used in a number system are called numerals. The symbols used in a number system are called numerals.

## Types of Number Systems
- [Binary Number System](#binary-number-system)
- [Octal Number System](#octal-number-system)
- [Decimal Number System](#decimal-number-system)
- [Hexadecimal Number System](#hexadecimal-number-system)

## Binary Number System
Binary Numbers only have two digits, 0 and 1. Binary numbers are used in computers because they are easy to represent using electronic circuits. Binary numbers are also used in digital electronics, such as digital cameras, digital watches, and digital televisions.

| Decimal | Binary |
|---------|--------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 11 |
| 4 | 100 |
| 5 | 101 |
| 6 | 110 |
| 7 | 111 |
| 8 | 1000 |
| 9 | 1001 |
| 10 | 1010 |

## Octal Number System
Octal Numbers have eight digits, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The main advantage of using octal numbers is that they uses less digits than decimal numbers. Octal numbers are used in Unix and Linux operating systems.

| Decimal | Octal |
|---------|-------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 10 |
| 9 | 11 |
| 10 | 12 |

## Decimal Number System
Decimal Numbers have ten digits, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Decimal numbers are used in everyday life.

| Decimal | Decimal |
|---------|---------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 9 |
| 10 | 10 |

## Hexadecimal Number System
Hexadecimal Numbers have sixteen digits, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. The Hexadecimal, or Hex, numbering system is commonly used in computer and digital systems to reduce large strings of binary numbers into a sets of four digits for us to easily understand

| Decimal | Hexadecimal |
|---------|-------------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |

## Number System Conversion
Number system conversion is the process of converting a number from one number system to another. There are many number system conversion tools available online. Here are some of them:
# [Number Systems](#number-systems)

Number systems are a mathematical system for expressing numbers. A number system consists of a set of symbols that are used to represent numbers, and a set of rules for manipulating those symbols. The symbols used in a number system are called numerals. The symbols used in the decimal number system are the Hindu-Arabic numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. It is base 10, which means that each place in the number represents a power of 10, also known as the base or the radix.

Octal Numbers have eight characters, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The main advantage of using octal numbers is that they are easier to work with than binary numbers. Octal numbers are used in computer programming and in the Unix operating system.

## [Base/Radix Conversion](#baseradix-conversion)

Base/Radix conversion is the process to convert the number from one base to another base. For example, converting a decimal number to binary number. These are some example videos on the common types.

### [Radix to Decimal](#radix-to-decimal)

The basic formula for another radix to decimal conversion is:
$a = r_m b^m + r_{m-1}b^{m-1} + r_{m-2}b^{m-2} + r_{1}b^{1} + r_{0}b^{0}$
where, m is a nonnegative integer and the r's are integers such that
$0 < r_m < b$ and $0 ≤ r_i < b for i = 0, 1, ... , m − 1$.

Example: Convert 2212 from base 3 (radix_3) to decimal (radix_10)

$a = (2)3^3+(2)3^2+(1)3^1+(2)3^0$
$a = 77$

Thus $2212_{3} = 77_{10}$.

### [Decimal to Radix](#decimal-to-radix)

The basic algorithm for decimal to another radix conversion is to take the decimal number and divide it by the new base/radix. The remainder is the rightmost digit of the new number. The quotient is the new number to be converted. The process is repeated until the quotient is zero.

Example: Convert 77 from decimal (radix_10) to base 5 (radix_5)

$77/5 = 15b + 2$ &nbsp; the remainder is 2, so the rightmost digit of the new number is 2. The quotient is 15, so the new number to be converted is 15.
$a = 2$
$15/5 = 3b + 0$ &nbsp;&nbsp; the remainder is 0, so the rightmost digit of the new number is 0. The quotient is 3, so the new number to be converted is 3.
$a = 02$
$3/5 = 0b + 3$ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the remainder is 3, so the rightmost digit of the new number is 3. The quotient is 0, so the new number to be converted is 0.
$a = 302$

Thus $77_{10} = 302_{5}$.

## [Mixed-Base Number Systems](#mixed-base-number-systems)

Mixed-base number systems are number systems that use more than one base. Such numerical representation applies when a quantity is expressed using a sequence of units that are each a multiple of the next smaller one, but not by the same factor. The easiet example of a mixed-base number system is from our timekeeping methods. 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 4 weeks in a month, 12 months in a year, 10 years in a decade, 10 decades in a century, 10 centuries in a millennium. All of these are different bases and they are all combined to make our timekeeping system.

## [Registers and RAM](#registers-and-ram)
Registers are small amounts of high-speed memory contained within the CPU. They are used by the processor to store small amounts of data that are needed during processing. Whereas RAM stands for random-access memory. It is essentially short term memory where data is stored as the processor needs it.
