Week 2.
NUMBER BASES /BASE NUMBER.
Base number is the basis of which each place value column in a number system or the classification of numbers to which one or more other numbers are appended or added.
TYPES OF BASE NUMBERS.
OCTAL BASE; Octal base are numbers express in base eight. E.g. 25
DENARY/DECIMAL BASE: These are numbers express in base ten. E.g. 18
BINARY: These are numbers express in base two. E.g. 1100
BICIMAL: This is the fractional binary number or fraction in base two. E.g.() =()= 0.10101… in base two.
DUODECIMAL BASE: This is the number system that is express in base 12.
HEXADECIMAL: Is system of numbers which is express in base 16. I.e base 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.
HINT: No number must be equal or greater than the base number in operation. If you are working in base two, the highest digit will be 1 and the lowest number is 0
EXPRESSION NUMBERS IN BASE TEN.
450 = 4 × + 5× + 0× in base ten.
CONVERTION OF NUMBERS TO BASE TEN
EXAMPLE;
Convert the following numbers to denary base:
b. c. .
Solution
101111 =1x +0x +1x +1x +1x +1x +1x
=1×64+0x32+1×16+1×8+1×4+1×2+1×1
=64+0+16+8+4+2+1
=9
B. 43 = 4x+ 3x +2x
= 4×25+3×5+2×1
= 100+15+2
=11.
C.. 43 = 4x + 3x +1x
= 4+3X+1
CONVERTION OF BASE NUMBERS FROM BASE TEN TO ANOTHER BASE.
Express the following base ten numbers to each base giving:
a. 1007 to i. octal base ii.Binary base.
b. 761 to ( i).Base 12 (ii). Base16
SOLUTION


100 =8 1007 2 1007
125 r 7 2 503 r 1

8 15 r 5 2 251 r 1 2 125 r 1
8 0 r 1 2 62 r 1
100= 175 2 31 r 0
2 15 r 1
![]()
2 7 r 1
2 3 r 1
2 1 r 1
2 0 r 1
100= 111110111


76= 12 761 16 761
12 63 r 5 16 47 r 9

12 5 r 3 16 2 r F
12 0 r 5 16 0 r 2
76 = 53 76= 2F
CONVERTION FROM ONE BASE TO ANOTHER
HINT: First express the number to base ten and then convert from base ten to the required base.
EXAMPLE
Express 31 to octal base
Solution
31 = 3 X + 1 X + 3 X
= 3 X 36 + 1 X 6 + 3 X 1
=108 +6 +3 = 11
117 base ten to Octal base8 117

8 14 r 5
8 1 r 6
31= 16
FRACTIONAL BASE NUMBER
EXAMPLE: Convert 1011.0 to denary base.
SOLUTION
1011.0 = 1 X + 0 X + 1x + 1 X + 0 X + 1 X
= 1X8 + 0X4 +1X2 + 1X1 +1X +1X
= 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 + +
=11 .
EXAMPLE:
Express as bicimal number.
SOLUTION
(=( .= 0.10101010…
ASSESSMENT: Students should work the following questions
- Express the following base numbers to base ten.
- 312.2 b. 1051.1 c .2341
2. Convert the following base ten numbers to bicimals:
(a). (b). (c).(d). (e).
3. Convert the following to base; I. Base 5 ii. Base12. iii. Base 15
a. 5 b. 12 c. 1000 d. 12110.
WEEK 3
RULES OF BASE NUMBER
- Numbers must not be equal to or greater than the base number under consideration.
- Base numbers of the same base can be added,subtracted, multiplied and divided otherwise it must first be converted to base ten or equal base before the required operation is done.
- When subtracting base numbers , the number carried from nearby to support the other becomes the base in operation added to the original number in that position.
BASIC OPERATIONS OF BASE NUMBER.
EXAMPLE- Find the sum of the octal numbers 174 and 233. (B). Simplify 23121. (c). find the product of 214 and 23 both in base five.(D). if 10= 68, find the value of x?
SOLUTION
A 1 7 4 b. 2 3 1 1 C. 2 1 4


+ 2 3 – 2 1 3 x 2


4 2 2 0 3 1 2 0 2 . + 4 3 3
1 1 0 3
10 = 681 X + 0 X + 4 X = 68
+ 0 + 4 = 68
= 68 – 4 : = 64
X = ±
APPLICATION OF BASE NUMBER TO COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
In computer programming the punched cards uses the binary numbers instead of the letters.
A = 1. B = 2. C = 3. D = 4. E = 5. F = 6. P = 16. U =21. Z = 26. The binary equivalent of the number code of letters in binary, such as:
A = 00001, B = 00010, C = 00011, p = 10000, Z = 11010.
Yes = 1 and No = 0
ASSESSMENT: The students are to do the following questions:
- If 410 = 211 + . Findx?
- Simplify the following number bases:
- 1101x 10 ii. 61 50 iii. If 12 = 83, find y?
- Represent I LOVE MATHEMATICS in binary code.
