Explore the addition and multiplication in the decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal number systems with some examples.

Decimal Arithmetic (For base 10, digits are 0 … 9)
\begin{aligned} &(1295)_{10}+(357)_{10}=(1652)_{10} \\ &(734)_{10} \times(46)_{10}=(33764)_{10} \end{aligned}
Binary Arithmetic (For base 2, digits are 0 and 1)
\begin{aligned} &(101011)_2+(11011)_2=(1000110)_2 \\ &(11101)_2 \times(1001)_2=(100000101)_2 \end{aligned}
Octal Arithmetic (For base 8, digits are 0 … 7)
\begin{aligned} &(1635)_8+(274)_8=(2131)_8 \\ &(752)_8 \times(23)_8=(22136)_8 \end{aligned}
Hexadecimal Arithmetic (For base 16, digits are 0 … 9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
\begin{aligned} &(5 AB 7)_{16}+( F 63)_{16}=(6 A 1 A )_{16} \\ &( A 4 B )_{16} \times(7 A )_{16}=(4 E 7 BE )_{16} \end{aligned}
Note: Arithmetic for numbers with base β:
Consider the addition of two numbers (1635)_8 \text { and }(274)_8 in the octal number system with the base β = 8. Note that, the addition of numbers 5 and 4 will produce number 9. For β = 8, we have 1 carry, and the remaining number is 1. Similarly, other calculations give the following result
\begin{aligned} &1 1 1 \text { Carry } \\ &(1635)_8 \\ &+(274)_8 \\\hline & (2131)_8 \\ &\Rightarrow(1635)_8+(274)_8=(2131)_8 \\ & \end{aligned}
Similarly, consider the multiplication of two numbers. For example, multiplication of numbers 7 and 5 will produce number 35. In octal system (base β = 8), for number 32, we have 4 carry; and remaining is 3. So, final result is (7)_8 \times(5)_8=(43)_8 .
