Conversion (any to any)

#1

which all number system bases should we consider?
like all of them?
binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal
Are these four enough?

#2

Yes, the most common number systems used in computing are binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal. These four number systems are generally enough for most purposes, as they cover a wide range of use cases.

  • Binary (base 2) is used to represent values using only two digits (0 and 1). This system is often used in computing to represent data in memory and on disk, as well as to represent logic values (e.g. true or false).
  • Octal (base 8) is used to represent values using eight digits (0-7). It’s less common than other systems, but it can be useful in some situations such as to express file permissions in UNIX-like systems.
  • Decimal (base 10) is the most common and familiar number system, used to represent values using ten digits (0-9). This system is used in everyday life to represent values such as currency and measurements.
  • Hexadecimal (base 16) is used to represent values using sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F). It’s often used in computing to represent large binary numbers in a more compact and human-readable format. It’s also used to represent colors in web design and in some programming languages.

These four number systems are the most commonly used in computing, and they are generally enough for most purposes. However, depending on the specific use case, other number systems such as base 12, base 60, and base 64 can also be used.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
