What type of numbering system is binary

1 answer

Binary is a base-2 numbering system. In binary, only two digits are used: 0 and 1. Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2, with the rightmost digit representing \(2^0\), the next representing \(2^1\), then \(2^2\), and so on as you move left. This system is the foundation for digital computing and electronics, as it aligns well with the two states of a transistor (on and off).
