Answer (1)

In mathematics, number systems are a way of representing numbers. Here, we will fill in the blanks based on your question about different types of number systems:

There are two types of basic number system 'positional' and 'non-positional' .

Positional number system : In this system, the value of a digit is determined by both its position and its value. For example, the decimal system is positional.
Non-positional number system : Each symbol in this system has a fixed value, and position doesn't play a role. An example is the Roman numeral system.


Roman number system is an example of 'non-positional' number system.

Roman numerals are used in this system, where symbols such as I, V, X, L, C, D, and M have fixed values.


There are 'two' basic types of number system.

The two basic types refer to positional and non-positional systems.


There are 'four' types of number system commonly used:

Binary (Base 2): Used in computers and digital electronics, with two digits, 0 and 1.
Octal (Base 8): Uses eight digits, from 0 to 7.
Decimal (Base 10): The most common system used in daily life, with digits 0 through 9.
Hexadecimal (Base 16): Used in computing and digital electronics, with digits 0-9 and letters A-F representing values.


Radix of octal system is '8' .

The radix, or base, of a number system indicates how many different digits, including zero, are available. For the octal system, numbers are written using digits from 0 to 7.
