Natural Numbers

A positive whole number including zero. Represented as N = (0,1,2,3,4 ....) Symbol for this is

Integer Numbers

Any positive or negative whole number including zero. Represented as Z = (...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...)

Rational Numbers

A number that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio. Represented as Q

Irrational Numbers

A number that cannot be represented as a fraction or ratio, the decimal form will contain infinite repeating values.

Real Numbers

3.

The denary number 31 can be represented in unsigned 8 bit binary as:
→ 31 divided by 2 = 15 r 1
→ 15 divided by 2 = 7 r 1
→ 7 divided by 2 = 3 r 1
→ 3 divided by 2 = 1 r 1
→ 1 divided by 2 = 0 r 1
→ Now read the remainders from the bottom up to get 11111
→ add the extra bits needed to make it upto 8 bits

Your score is 0 / 0
