Question

What is the numeral system?

Answer 1

Define Numerical System

A number system is a way of representing the numerical values in a well-defined manner by the use of a limited set of symbols which can be digits or alphabets.

The most commonly used numerical system is the decimal system which uses the combination of the digits $0-9$ to represent all the numbers.

Other examples of numerical systems are the binary system, which uses the digits $0$ and $1$ only, the octal system, which uses the digits $0-7$, and the hexadecimal system which uses a set of 16 symbols, which are the digits $0-9$ and the alphabets $A-F$.

The numerical system represents numbers in a way that they can be easily interpreted by the user once they know which numerical system's representation it is.
