Number Systems & Binary Guide

Understanding Binary

  • Binary uses only 0 and 1 (base 2)
  • Each digit represents a power of 2
  • Computers store all data in binary
  • 8 bits = 1 byte = 1 character
  • ASCII maps characters to numbers

Practical Applications

  • Binary: Computer programming, data storage
  • Hex: Color codes, memory addresses
  • Octal: File permissions in Unix/Linux
  • Decimal: Human-readable numbers

Conversion Examples

  • A = 01000001 (binary)
  • A = 41 (hex)
  • A = 101 (octal)
  • A = 65 (decimal)
  • All represent the same character

Tips & Tricks

  • Binary is most common in programming
  • Hex is shorter than binary for same data
  • Spaces are ignored in input for decoding
  • Invalid characters are automatically removed
  • Use for encoding/obfuscating text
