    The passage discusses octal and hexadecimal number systems which are easier ways to represent numbers in digital electronics compared to binary. It also provides examples of converting between decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal number systems.

    Octal and hexadecimal number systems are used to more easily represent numbers in digital electronics and computing compared to binary, as binary numbers can become very long. They are base-8 and base-16 number systems respectively.

    To convert between decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal number systems, one breaks down the number into place values and writes the place value coefficients in the target base number system. Calculators can also be used to check conversions.

    Activity 2.3.

    1 Octal & Hexadecimal Number


    Systems
    Introduction
    We all know that digital electronics use the binary number system. However, with new
    computers containing 32, 64, and even 128 bit data busses, displaying numbers in
    binary is quite cumbersome. For example, a single piece of data on a 64-bit data bus
    would look like this:

    0110100101110001001101001100101001101001011100010011010011001010

    Obviously, presenting data in this form would invite error. For this reason we use the
    hexadecimal (base 16) and, to a lesser extent, the octal (base 8) number systems.
    In this activity you will learn how to convert numbers between the decimal, binary, octal,
    and hexadecimal number systems.

    Equipment
    ● Calculator (preferably one with a number base conversion feature)
    ● Circuit Design Software (CDS)

    Procedure
    Complete the following decimal-to-octal number conversions. If available, use the base
    conversion feature of your calculator to check your answers.

    1) 25 (10) = 31 (8)

    2) 49 (10) = 61 (8)

    3) 187 (10) = 273 (8)

    4) 398 (10) = 616 (8)

    5) 2879 (10) = 5477 (8)

    Complete the following octal-to-decimal number conversions. If available, use the base
    conversion feature of your calculator to check your answers.

    6) 36 (8) = 30 (10)

    7) 75 (8) = 61 (10)
    8) 143 (8) = 99 (10)

    9) 367 (8) = 247 (10)

    10) 1735 (8) = 989 (10)

    Complete the following decimal-to-hexadecimal number conversions. If available, use


    the base conversion feature of your calculator to check your answers.

    11) 25 (10) = 19 (16)

    12) 46 (10) = 2E (16)

    13) 120 (10) = 78 (16)

    14) 429 (10) = 1AD (16)

    15) 1215 (10) = 4BF (16)

    Complete the following hexadecimal-to-decimal number conversions. If available, use


    the base conversion feature of your calculator to check your answers.

    16) 3B (16) = 59 (10)

    17) A9 (16) = 169 (10)

    18) 159 (16) = 345 (10)

    19) 2A3 (16) = 675 (10)

    20) 1AB3 (16) = 6835 (10)

    Utilize the shortcut base conversion technique to complete the following table.

    Binary Octal Hexadecimal


    1)
    1010112 53 2B
    2)
    110100011 643 1A316
    3)
    110101102 326 D6
    4)
    1011111 1378 5F
    5)
    1010111102 536 15E

    A useful tool in simulation is the Digital Hex Display. Create the following circuit in the
    Circuit Design Software (CDS) and complete the truth table.

    A B C D Display?
    0 0 0 0 0
    0 0 0 1 1
    0 0 1 0 2
    0 0 1 1 3
    0 1 0 0 4
    0 1 0 1 5
    0 1 1 0 6
    0 1 1 1 7
    1 0 0 0 8
    1 0 0 1 9
    1 0 1 0 A
    1 0 1 1 b
    1 1 0 0 C
    1 1 0 1 D
    1 1 1 0 E
    1 1 1 1 F
    The HEX DISPLAY has a built-in decoder that converts a binary number into its
    corresponding display digit. For example an input of ‘0110’ would display a ‘6’, and a
    ‘1010’ would display an ‘A’.
    Conclusion
    1. Without performing the conversion, which of the following numbers is the octal
    equivalent of 24510? How were you able to determine this?
    You can eliminate (b.) because the octal number can NEVER be less than
    the decimal number, and eliminate (9a.) because there is no such thing as a
    9 in octal.
    a. 3798
    b. 1748
    c. 3658
    (3x64) + (6x8) + (5x1) = 245(10)

    2. You are sent to the store to buy some hamburger for dinner. When you come
    home, your sister looks at the UPC label on the meat and says, “We can’t use
    this.” What does she see on the label that you do not? Hint: think hexadecimal.

    1011 1010 1101 1011 1110 1110 1111

    11=B 10=A 13=D 11=B 14=E 14=E 15=F

    Going Further – Optional


    1. With 128-bit graphic cards becoming standard on many new PCs, there has
    been some thought of expanding to the base 32 number system. The base 32
    number system would be selected because it is the next greatest power of two
    after 16. Use your knowledge of number systems to convert the following base
    32 number into its decimal equivalent.

    323 322 321 320


    32768 1024 32 1

    4 x 32768 = 131072
    25 x 1024 = 25600
    8 x 32 = 256
    22 x 1 = 22

    176950 (10)

    4P8M (32) = 156950 (10)
