Frequently Asked Questions
Number System Basics
Binary (Base-2)
Binary uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Each position represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit (2^0 = 1). For example, the binary number 1011 equals 1×2^3 + 0×2^2 + 1×2^1 + 1×2^0 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 11 in decimal.
Decimal (Base-10)
Decimal is our standard number system using digits 0-9. Each position represents a power of 10. For example, 123 equals 1×10^2 + 2×10^1 + 3×10^0 = 100 + 20 + 3.
Hexadecimal (Base-16)
Hexadecimal uses sixteen digits: 0-9 and A-F (where A=10, B=11, ..., F=15). Each position represents a power of 16. For example, the hexadecimal number 1A equals 1×16^1 + 10×16^0 = 16 + 10 = 26 in decimal.
Octal (Base-8)
Octal uses eight digits: 0-7. Each position represents a power of 8. For example, the octal number 17 equals 1×8^1 + 7×8^0 = 8 + 7 = 15 in decimal.
ASCII
ASCII assigns a unique number to each character. Standard ASCII uses 7 bits, allowing for 128 different characters (0-127). Extended ASCII uses 8 bits, allowing for 256 characters (0-255).
