a Convert these binary numbers to decimal numbers:
i 1012 ii 10012 iii 11 111 2 iv 1 001 001 2 v 11 011 011 2
b Convert these decimal numbers into binary numbers:
i 7 ii 17 iii 39 iv 81 v 138 vi 432
c Thehexadecimal systemuses base 16 and contains the digits 0 to 9 as well as the letters A to F.
This is also used in computers as hexadecimal numbers are very easily converted to binary ones.
Notice that BED 16 =11£ 162 +14£ 161 +13£1 = 3053 10
i Convert the following hexadecimal numbers into decimal numbers:

a 9816 b 21316 c DAD 16 d 1 BC (^416)
ii Convert these decimal numbers into hexadecimal numbers:
a 123 b 389 c 2164 d 18 341
iii Convert these hexadecimal numbers into binary numbers:
a 2516 b BE 16 c 1 A 416 d ABE 16
In ourdecimal systemthe number 2358 represents 2 thousands, three hundreds, five tens and 8 ones.
That is, 2358 = 2000 + 300 + 50 + 8 or 2 £ 103 +3£ 102 +5£ 101 +8£ 1
All positive integers can be written in this form where thebaseis 10.
Thebinary systemusesbase 2. So, place values of digits correspond to powers of 2 (instead of 10 ).
Each number contains only the digits 0 and 1. Binary numbers are used in a computer. Numbers are
stored in binary code.
For example, 101 011 2 =1£ 25 +0£ 24 +1£ 23 +0£ 22 +1£ 21 +1
So, 101 011 2 has a decimal value of 32+8+2+1=43.
To convert a decimal number to a binary number, observe the following division method:
2 43
2 21 + 1
2 10 + 1
2 5+0
2 2+1
2 1+0
0+1 So, 43 = 1£ 25 +0£ 24 +1£ 23 +0£ 22 +1£ 21 +1
