A computer number format refers to the way computers and calculators represent numbers. Most computers use the binary system, which consists of ones and zeros. Other systems in use include the octal (0–7) and hexadecimal (0–9, A–F) systems. These formats allow computers to interpret and process numbers in ways that are not always directly understandable by humans.
