The document summarizes key concepts about number bases from Chapter 1 of a Mathematics Form 5 textbook. It discusses representing numbers in bases 2 (binary), 8 (octal), and 5 (quinary), including place value, expanded notation, and converting between different number bases.
7 lip 2014 · 1.0 number bases form 5. This document discusses number bases and converting between different number bases. It covers: - Place value and value of digits in base 2, 8, and 10 - Writing numbers in expanded notation in different bases - Converting numbers between bases 2, 8, 10 and vice versa - Addition and subtraction in base 2.
A number base is the number of digits or combination of digits that a system of counting uses to represent numbers. A base can be any whole number greater than 0. The most commonly used number system is the decimal system, commonly known as base 10.
A short introduction to bases. (note: throughout, square brackets indicate the greatest integer of the enclosed quantity) When we write the number 1251, we are expressing the quantity. 1 × 103 + 2 × 102 + 5 × 101 + 1 × 100. When we express a number in this way, we say that 10 is the base.
1 Lecture 3: Number bases. Information in a computer is best visualized as a string of 1’s and 0’s. If the informa-tion is a number, it is natural to store the number using (perhaps a small modification of) base 2. Before going on, we recall how we represent numbers in different bases.
Introduction and Base 10. What does it mean to use base 10? It means that when we write a number, such as 639, the 9 is in the 1s place, the 3 is in the 10s place, and the 6 is in the 100s place. If we think of 1 = 100, 10 = 101, and 100 = 102 then we are saying: 639 = 6 102 + 3 101 + 9 100. In general a number in base 10 has the expression:
