How a number system quiz helps you practice

Number system topics such as place value, bases, and rational and irrational numbers are easy to nod along to in class and harder to recall under exam pressure. A maths quiz on the number system built from your own lesson notes makes you retrieve the rules yourself, which is the part that makes them stick.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats
  • Explanations that show the working behind each answer
  • Questions drawn only from the material you upload

Example number system maths quiz questions
What is the binary representation of the decimal number 13?1101. It equals 8 + 4 + 1, so the bits for 8, 4 and 1 are set.
Is 0.75 a rational number?Yes. It equals 3/4, which is a fraction of two integers.
What is the hexadecimal digit B in decimal?11. Hexadecimal digits A to F stand for 10 to 15, so B is 11.
Is the square root of 2 a rational number?No. It cannot be written as a fraction of two integers, so it is irrational.
Which number set contains -5?Integers. Negative whole numbers belong to the integers but not to the natural numbers.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your number system lesson.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions for the quiz.

Answer and review

Work through the questions and read the explanation after each one before moving on.

Work through questions on binary and hexadecimal conversion, number sets and place value, then read the explanation for every answer you miss. Repeat the questions that caught you out a day or two later so the gaps close before the test.

Frequently asked questions

How do I practice converting between binary, octal and hexadecimal?

Convert a few decimal numbers to each base by repeated division, then convert them back to check your answers. Practice the hexadecimal digits A to F until you recognize them without counting, since they appear in most exam questions.

What is the difference between rational and irrational numbers?

A rational number can be written as a fraction of two integers with a non-zero denominator, such as 3/4 or -2. An irrational number cannot, and its decimal expansion neither terminates nor repeats, as with the square root of 2.

Can I export my quiz to another tool?

Yes, exports are part of the paid plans. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations a month and study in the browser without adding payment details.
