NUMBER BASE CONVERSIONS

In general, conversion between two bases cannot be done by simple substitutions.


Arithmetic operations are sometimes required.

Conversion from Binary, Octal or Hexadecimal to Decimal:


Summation method is used.

Ex: (1010.011)2 =

Ex: (630.4)8 =

Ex: (1A02)16 =

5
Conversion from Decimal to Binary, Octal or Hexadecimal:
Separate the number into an integer part and a fraction part, then, conversion of each
part is done separately.

Division method is used for the integer part and multiplication is used for the fraction
part.

Ex: 41.6875 = ( ? )2

Ex: 44.51 = ( ? )8

6
Conversion between Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal Systems:
Since 8 = 23 and 16 = 24, each octal digit corresponds to three binary digits and each
hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary digits.

The conversion from binary to octal / hexadecimal is easily done by grouping the binary
number into groups of three / four bits each, starting from the binary point.

Ex: (10110001101011.111100000110)2 = ( ? )8

Ex: (10110001101011.111100000110)2 = ( ? )16

Ex: (125.74)8 = ( ? )2

Ex: (306.D)16 = ( ? )2
