Since birth, we are connected to numbers; from birth dates to daily life routines, we need numbers. So no one can deny the importance of numbers.

Binary Number System

The Number System is the system to represent and express the value of the number based on the base value.

In the Binary Number System, the base value is two (2), which means that system consists of two numbers, 0 and 1, to define the value of the number. The computer and digital systems depend highly on that number system for their work.

In a binary number system, each digit consists of the weight that is the power of two (2). Each digit's value increases twice as we move from right to left in a binary number system. That binary number system uses positional notation. Each digit in the binary number system has a value two times stronger than the previous one, moving from right to left.

Octal Number System

In the Octal Number System, the base value is eight (8), which means that system consists of eight possible numbers; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 to define the value of the number. In the octal number system, each digit has the weight, which is the power of 8. The value of each digit increases eight times as we move from right to left in an octal number system. Each digit in the octal number system has a value eight times stronger than the previous one, moving from right to left.

Binary Number System vs. Octal Number System

The base value is the first and the main difference between these two number systems. The Binary Number System has two (2) base values, while the Octal Number System has eight (8). That means the same number has a different value in these two numbering systems.

Today, the Octal Number System is not commonly used. It's used when the number of bits in a word is the multiple of three (3). On the other hand, the computer system and digital devices adopt the Binary Number System to perform their work. They only understand the binary language.
