A number system is a systematic way to represent numbers with symbolic characters and
uses a base value to conveniently group numbers in compact form. The most common
number system is decimal, which has a base value of 10, and a symbolic character set of
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. However, there are other number systems, and they can be
more efficient to use for a specific purpose. For example, because computers use Boolean
logic to perform calculations and operations, they use the binary number system, which
has a base value of 2.
Microsoft Office Excel has several functions that you can use to convert numbers to and
from the following number systems:
Number system Base value Symbolic character set

Binary 2 0,1
Octal 8 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Decimal 10 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
Hexadecimal 16 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F
