Question

Difference between positional and non positional number​

Answer 1

Answer:

In positional number system,

1. each symbol represents different value depending on the position they occupy in a number.

2. In positional number system, each system has a value that relates to the number directly next to it. The total value of a positional number is the total of the resultant value of all positions.

3. Example: 12 can be 1 x 10 + 2 x 1, 10 + 2= 12

whereas in Non-Positional number

1. In non-positional number system, each symbol represents the same value regardless of its position

2. In non-positional number system each symbol represents a number with its own place value.

3. Example: Roman number system where I for 1, II for 2 etc.
