Chapter 2 - Numbers We Use in Digital Electronics

Chapter Overview
Most people understand us when we say we have nine pennies. The number 9 is part of the decimal number system we use every day. But digital electronic devices use a 'strange' number system called binary. Digital computers and microprocessor-based systems use other strange number systems called hexadecimal and octal.

Men and women who work in electronics must know how to convert numbers from the everyday decimal system to the binary, hexadecimal, and octal systems.
