Converting Decimal Numbers to Binary Number and Hexadecimal Number

The Three Number Systems Decimal (Base 10): The system we use daily. It has 10 distinct digits: 0 through 9. Each position in a decimal number represents a power of 10 (e.g., ones, tens, hundreds). Binary (Base 2): The foundation of modern computing. It only uses two digits: 0 and 1. Each position represents a power of 2. Because computers process data using 1s and 0s (bits), binary is the language of hardware. Hexadecimal (Base 16): Used in programming and digital electronics to represent binary data in a more compact, readable format. It requires 16 symbols, so it uses numbers 0-9 and letters A-F (where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15).
