Introduction: Design and calculate the Binary, Decimal, Hexadecimal, and Octal numbers to show the relationship in value and conversion between each Number System. The student should understand and study the decimal weights for the binary bit position and the conversion needed for the other associated numbers systems used in the computer industry. Objective: The student will demonstrate the steps used to develop 8-bits, 1 bytes used in the computer industry. Given the mathematical equation to convert from each of the given number systems, the student will populate cells in a spreadsheet (MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc, etc) for each binary configuration for 1 byte. The following is used in any spreadsheet program for number conversions: For decimal to hexadecimal conversions - DEC2HEX(value) For decimal to octal conversions - DEC2OCT(value) For decimal to binary conversions - DEC2BIN(value) Note: value is the number to be converted from to the other which is the result. See the example below 8bits & Useful Numbers - 1 Byte Wide Bit #8 Bit #7 Bit #6 Bit #5 Bit #4 Bit #3 Bit #2 Bit #1 Decimal Hexadecimal 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 Octal Binary 0 0 1 D 1 10.
