No, they can process just about any type of information, including numbers, texts, dates, images, etc.
they use numbers not words.
Yes the are.
No. In general, their internal processing is in binary numbers and there are programs that enable them to work with hexadecimal numbers.
Computers primarilary work with the Binary numbering system (0 and 1) which is known as Base 2.
• digital computers work on discrete data representing quantities by encoding (e.g. integers, coded alphanumeric characters, coded floatingpoint numbers). • analog computers work on continuous data representing quantities by analogy (e.g. voltages, currents, shaft rotation rate, shaft position). • hybrid computers are a combination of digital & analog computers connected together to work as one machine.
Ever wonder what the real numbers are? Numbers are artificial things invented by human, and the same applied to computers. So, the inventors of computers storing human readable numbers (decimal, Roman numerals, etc...) as computer readable numbers (binary). Binary fit very well with the electrical pulses (on and off, as 1 and 0)
geometric numbers
Computers work in multiple different ways. For instance, in competitive sports, the computers calculate the place of the athletes. They can also provide numbers for runners, heats and lanes for swimmers, and etc. They can come up with statistics and how to improve the athlete.
The format by which computers express number is hexadecimal format. In this format the base of numbers is 16 as opposed to 10.
Yes, they work for home computers.
Nano
Well, when computers are made, they have to have commands which people put in, naturally, people get computers to do what the know so they programme in how to multiply numbers as we humans do. For example, it says when space bar pressed, leave one space and it would do the same for multiplying numbers.
