Introduction

In this topic you will learn the basis of the different number systems and use the binary, denary and hexadecimal number systems. You will be able to perform a decimal to binary conversion.
You will then move on to learning a new topic of binary prefixes and be able to represent character data as binary.

By the end of this topic you should be able to:

Show an understanding of binary and basis of different number systems.
Describe applications where binary coded decimal and hexadecimal are used.
Show an understanding of binary magnitudes and the difference between binary prefixes and decimal prefixes.
