How a Number System Works. Number systems are used to describe the quantity of something or represent certain information. Because of this, I can say that the word calculator contains ten letters. Our number system, the decimal system, uses ten symbols. Therefore, decimal is said to be Base Ten. By describing systems with bases, we can gain an understanding of how that particular system works.
OCTAL NUMBER SYSTEM The octal, or base 8, number system is a common system used with computers. Because of its relationship with the binary system, it is useful in programming some types of computers. Look closely at the comparison of binary and octal number systems in table 1-3.he terms that you learned in the decimal and binary sections are also used with the octal system. The unit remains a single object, and the number is still a symbol used to represent one or more units. Base (Radix). As with the other systems, the radix, or base, is the number of symbols used in the system.
