Value of numeric literals

In section 7.8.3 Numeric Literals it describes how the value of a NumericLiteral is determined, which is different from how the “number value for X” is defined in section 8.5.

Could someone explain what the difference between these two methods is, and why the method in 7.8.3 isn’t the same as the one in 8.5?

Thanks,

Cameron
