Abstract
Abstract-- A number system is a set of rules and symbols used to represent a number, or any system used for naming or representing numbers is a number/numeral system. The modern society is familiar with decimal number system using ten digits. However digital devices and computers use binary number system instead of decimal, using only two digits i.e. 0 and 1 based on the fundamental concept of the decimal number system. Various other number systems also used this fundamental concept of decimal number system i.e. octal system and hexadecimal number system using eight and sixteen digits respectively. The awareness and concept of various number systems, their number representation, arithmetic operations, compliments and the inter conversion of numbers belongs to different number system is essential for understanding of computers. More over, successful programming for digital devices require the understanding of data formats (BCD, ASCII etc), number systems and their inter conversion (a process in which things are each converted into the other). Understanding all these number systems and particularly the inter conversion of numbers requires allot of time and techniques to expertise. In this paper the concepts of the four most common number systems, their representation, arithmetic, compliments and interconversion is taken under the consideration in tabulated form. It will provide an easy understanding and practising of theses number systems to understand as well as memorise them. The four number systems are binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal. General terms
