Understanding Different Number Bases

1. Binary (Base 2):

   • Uses only two digits: 0 and 1
   • Fundamental to computer systems and digital logic
   • Example: 1010 (binary) = 10 (decimal)

2. Octal (Base 8):

   • Uses digits 0 to 7
   • Often used in computing for compact representation of binary data
   • Example: 12 (octal) = 10 (decimal)

3. Decimal (Base 10):

   • Our standard number system
   • Uses digits 0 to 9
   • Most familiar for everyday calculations

4. Hexadecimal (Base 16):

   • Uses digits 0 to 9 and letters A to F
   • Commonly used in computing for color codes and memory addresses
   • Example: A (hexadecimal) = 10 (decimal)

5. Base32:

   • Uses 32 characters: 0-9 and A-V
   • Often used in applications requiring case-insensitive encoding
   • Example: JBSWY3DP (base32) = "Hello" (text)

6. Base64:

   • Uses 64 characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z, +, and /
   • Commonly used for encoding binary data in text-based formats
   • Example: SGVsbG8 (base64) = "Hello" (text)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Base 32 and Base 64?

• Base 32: Uses 32 characters: A-Z and 2-7
• Base 64: Uses 64 characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, and /

Why is Base 32 case-insensitive?

• Base 32 is case-insensitive because it uses uppercase letters only.

Why is Base 64 used for encoding binary data?

• Base 64 is used for encoding binary data because it is a widely supported encoding scheme that can be easily decoded by most programming languages and applications.

Is it free?

• Yes, it is free and without limitations.
