About Number Converter
Our free number converter tool allows you to instantly convert between four major number systems used in computing and programming: Binary (base 2), Decimal (base 10), Hexadecimal (base 16), and Octal (base 8).
What is a Number System?
A number system (or numeral system) is a way to represent numbers. Different number systems use different bases:
- Binary (Base 2): Uses only 0 and 1. Essential in computer science and digital electronics.
- Decimal (Base 10): The standard number system we use daily, using digits 0-9.
- Hexadecimal (Base 16): Uses 0-9 and A-F. Commonly used in programming, memory addresses, and color codes.
- Octal (Base 8): Uses digits 0-7. Less common but still used in some computing contexts.
