Lesson 2 Number Base Conversion

The document provides instructions for converting between different number bases, including binary, octal, and hexadecimal. It explains that to convert from a higher base to a lower base, you break the number into groups based on the new base size and convert each group. For example, to convert binary to octal, you group the binary digits into sets of 3 and convert each set. It also explains that the reverse conversions work by first converting each digit of the higher number to the equivalent representation in the lower base. Sample conversions are provided as examples to demonstrate the process.

LESSON TWO

INTER- NUMBER BASE CONVERSIONS


1.9 CONVERTING BINARY NUMBER INTO OCTAL NUMBER

To convert a binary number into an octal number, you first divide the binary number into groups
of three binary digits from right side towards the left side.( NB; Add zeros incase bits are less
than three) For each group of three binary digits convert to their equivalent octal value. Then put
the values together to get the required octal number.

Example 1
Convert the binary number 1010011112 into Octal number

1010011112
101 001 111
510 110 710
5178
NB: You first divide the binary number into groups of three binary digits from right side towards
the left side. AND For each group of three binary digits convert them to their equivalent octal
value. Then put the values together to get the required octal number, Therefore the answer is

51710

Example 2
Convert the binary number 1100111110112 into octal number

1100111110112
110 011 111 011
610 310 710 310
63738
Therefore the answer is 63738

NB: Octal numbers are numbers to base 8 Where 8=23 therefore ALL octal
numbers are represented with three binary digits.

1.10 CONVERTING OCTAL NUMBER INTO BINARY NUMBER
To convert a octal number into an binary number, convert each octal digit into its equivalent three
bits binary digits Then put the values together to get the required binary number.

Example 1
Convert the Octal number 2538 into Binary number

2538
010 101 011
0101010112

NB: You first convert each octal number into its equivalent three bits binary digits Then put the
values together to get the required binary number, Therefore the answer is 0101010112

Example 2
Convert the Octal number 5678 into Binary number.

5678
101 110 111

1.11 CONVERTING BINARY NUMBER INTO HEXADECIMAL NUMBER.
To convert a binary number into Hexadecimal number, you first divide the binary number into
groups of four binary digits from right side towards the left side.(NB; Add zeros incase bits are
less than four). For each group of four binary digits convert to their equivalent hexadecimal value.
Then put the values together to get the required hexadecimal number.

Example 1
Convert the binary number 1010011112 into hexadecimal decimal number

1010011112
0001 0100 1111
116 416 F16
14F16
NB: first divide the binary number into groups of four binary digits from right side towards the
left side. For each group of four binary digits convert to their equivalent hexadecimal value. Then

put the values together to get the required hexadecimal number, Therefore the answer is 14F16

Example 2
Convert the binary number 110110111010112 into hexadecimal number

110110111010112
0011 0110 1110 1011
316 616 E16 B16
36EB16
Therefore the answer is 36EB16

NB: Hexadecimal numbers are numbers to base 16 Where 16=24 therefore


hexadecimal numbers are represented with four binary digits.

1.12 CONVERTING HEXADECIMAL NUMBER INTO BINARY NUMBER
To convert a Hexadecimal number into a binary number, convert each Hexa digit into its
equivalent four bits binary number, then put the values together to get the required binary number.

Example 1
Convert the hexadecimal number 26916 into binary number

26916
0010 0110 1001
0010011010012

NB: You convert each Hexa digit into its equivalent four binary number, Then put the values
