• What is the importance of Number System in a Computer?

computer systems cannot recognize or understand the data or instructions given to

them. They first convert that data and instructions into binary form, which is easily
understood by computers. All the letters, words, symbols, and special symbols are
converted into binary form.

any number which is symbolically represented in the system and the method is called
a “number system”.

These numbers can efficiently perform mathematical operations like addition,

subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The Number System is defined by the numbers or digits in the number system.

The binary number consists of 2 digits, the Decimal consists of 10 digits, the Octal has 8,
and finally, the hexadecimal number system consists of 16 digits in their number system.

• What is the use case of Decimal in Computer?

People use the decimal number system to perform arithmetic operations. Computers, on the
other hand, use the binary system, which contains only two digits: 0 and 1. We need a way to
convert numbers from one system to another. The main advantages of Decimal Number System
are easy readable, used by humans, and easy to manipulate.

However, there are some disadvantages, like wastage of space and time.

• What is the use case of Binary in Computer?

The binary number system (base 2) has two digits, numbered from 0 to 1. The computer uses
the binary number system to represent numbers internally. It enables devices to store, access
and manipulate all types of information directed to and from the CPU or memory.

• What is the use case of Octal in Computer?

Octal is a base-8 number system commonly used to represent binary numbers and other
numbers in a shorter form. It provides a convenient notation for the construction of integer
values in the binary number system. All integer values are expressed in computer memory by
setting the values of binary digits.

• What is the use case of Hexadecimal in Computer?

Hexadecimal Number System is commonly used in Computer programming and Microprocessors. It is

used to describe locations in memory for every byte. These hexadecimal numbers are also easier to read
and write than binary or decimal numbers for Computer Professionals. The main advantage of using
Hexadecimal numbers is that it uses less memory to store more numbers,
