Number Bases

This topic explores number systems other than base ten, such as binary (base 2) and octal (base 5, 8). Learners will convert numbers between different bases and perform basic arithmetic operations in these systems. This develops logical thinking and provides a foundation for understanding computer science and digital systems. Although a specialized topic, it appears in the ECZ syllabus and tests a student's flexibility with number representation. Practicing conversions and arithmetic in different bases will prepare learners for related exam questions.

How this revision works

Outcomes

If you passWell done! You can now work confidently with different number bases, demonstrating strong logical and computational skills.
If you don't pass yetNumber bases involve a different way of thinking about place value. Practice converting small numbers between base 10 and base 2 until it becomes clear.
