729.īy doing the Euclidean division, we get 1205 ÷ 729 = 1 remainder 476 `1205 = a_3 * 9^3 + r` with r < `9^3` does this remind you of anything ? this is the Euclidean division of 1205 by `9^3` i.e. So, 1205 will have 4 digits in base 9 and will be written as follows, Writing a number P in base n is equivalent to finding the coefficients of successive powers of n such as To illustrate the method, let's convert the number 1206 from base 9 to base 10.Īccording to the formula used above (generalized to base 9), the powers of 9 shall be used as follows,ġ206 in base 9 = 897 in base 10 (`= 1*9^3 + 2*9^2 + 0*9^1 + 6*9^0`)Īnother example: let's convert the number A160B from base 12 to base 10. The fourth digit multiplied by `16^3` and so on. The first digit (from the right) multiplied by `16^0`, To convert a number from hexadecimal system to decimal system, we have to sum these quantities, Note that the symbols ABCDEF represent values from 11 to 15. The hexadecimal system (or base-16), uses 16 symbols 0123456789ABCDEF to represent any number. The fourth digit multiplied by `2^3` and so on. The first digit (from the right) multiplied by `2^0`, To convert a number from binary to decimal base, we sum these quantities,
The binary system (base-2), widely used in electronics and computers, uses two symbols 0 and 1 to represent any number. The number of thousands is multiplied by `10^3`and so on. The number of hundreds is multiplied by `10^2`, The number of tens is multiplied by `10^1`, The number of units is multiplied by `10^0`, The number 278 can be written as follows, In the decimal system, successive powers of 10 are central and used to form numbers, The decimal system (based on 10), which we commonly use, represents any number by using 10 symbols : 0123456789. Note that for these bases, letter cases are important. For example, base 62 uses digits : 0123456789 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz that is a total of 62 symbols. For these bases (10 to 36), if you input numbers with lower case letters then we automatically convert them to uppercase letters.įor bases 36 to 62, we use lower case letter (abcdef.xyz). k base-25 = 20 base-10īase-2 is equivalent to binary.For bases 2 to 10, we use arabic digits 0123.789.įor bases 10 to 36, we use symbols ABCD.XYZ (uppercase letters) to represent numbers 11,12,13.34,35,36. The symbols used in this system are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N and O. The base-25 system is a numeral system with 25 as its base.
