Binary System

Binary is a numerical system used by computers that represents numbers using only two digits, 0 and 1. It is based on a base-2 system. Computers use binary because their internal components can only be in one of two states, on or off, represented by 1 or 0. Though binary uses just 0s and 1s, any number can be represented through combinations of these two digits.

• Binary is a two-digit (Base-
2) numerical system, which
computers use to store
data and compute
functions.
• The reason computers use the
binary system is because
digital switches inside the
computer can only be set to
either on or off, which are
represented by a 1 or 0.
• Though the binary system
consists of only ones and
zeros, the two digits can be
used to represent any
number.
