Electronic circuitry used in computing circuits works well with circuits that can have two states. It could be On (voltage present) or Off (0 volts), or perhaps magnetized towards North, or magnetized South. Or something like positive voltage, and negative voltages. This lends itself to using the binary number system to be represented by these circuit states. That is why computers use the binary number system.

Who gave the concept of binary numbers?
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz published a paper in 1703, which documented the base-2, or binary number system. There were other earlier uses of base-2 numbers, but Leibniz is given credit for the binary system in use, today. I found several articles, but the Wikipedia article is probably the best one that I came across. See related link.

Why binary number system used in digital system?
They are the best numbers for computers to use. In simple terms, as computers are electronic they use electronic currents, which can be on or off, like a light switch. 1 and 0, which are the only digits binary has, can be used to represent these two states. Binary forms the basis to all computer memory and operations.
