Number representation refers to the various methods and systems used to express numbers, enabling their use in mathematical operations and computational processes. Different systems, such as binary, decimal, and hexadecimal, are used depending on the application, each with its own set of rules and characteristics for encoding numbers.

methods and systems

Mathematical operations are fundamental processes used to manipulate numbers and symbols, forming the basis for solving equations and modeling real-world phenomena. They encompass basic arithmetic actions, such as addition and multiplication, as well as more complex operations like differentiation and integration in calculus.

A decimal is a numerical representation expressed in a base-10 system, which includes a whole number and a fractional part separated by a decimal point. Decimals are used in various mathematical operations and contexts, and they provide a more precise way of expressing fractions and real numbers compared to simple fractions.

decimal

Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system commonly used in computing and digital electronics to represent binary data in a more human-readable form. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, 0-9 and A-F, where each digit represents a power of 16, making it efficient for encoding large binary numbers with fewer digits.
