What is the difference between a number system and a binary system?

A binary system is a special type of a number system. The binary system uses only two digits, other number systems use more.


What is equal to binary digits?

Binary digits are 'bits'. There are only two of them. It doesn't matter what you call your digits or how you write them, as long as you do all of your binary arithmetic with only two symbols.


Which numbering system uses 2 digits?

A Binary Number is made up of only 0 and 1.


How many types of binary number system are there?

To the best of my knowledge (which is not completely inconsiderable), there is only one binary number system. That is the system in which each place is worth twice that of the preceding place, starting at 1. A 1 will count the place, a 0 will not. You may have meant how many number system are there 'like' the binary system, that is to say, how many number system are there which, like the binary system, do not use 10 digits. The answer to that is an infinite number. Binary is only special in that it uses the least possible number of digits. Our normal system (decimal) uses 10 digits (0-9). A number system can be made which uses any number of digits. The only three that I know of which are commonly used are the following. Decimal is our normal day to day number system with the digits 0-9. Binary is the number system used by computers and has only two digits, 0 and 1. Hexadecimal is a number system used by programs and has 16 digits, 0-f (that is, it uses 0-9 like normal, but continues by replacing "10" with "a", "11" with "b" and so on, up to "15" with "f"). To look into this more fully, they're called bases. Binary is base 2, decimal is base 10, and hexadecimal is base 16.


Advantages of the binary number system to the the decimal number system?

The binary system requires only two digits. It is, therefore, simpler to code numbers for electrical, electronic or optical data storage systems.

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.

Is binary illegal?

No, binary is just an alternate base system. It's base 2, it's only digits are 1 and 0.


Examples of binary?

The binary number system has zero and one as its only digits. A number or letter expressed in binary notation will appear as a series of zeroes and ones.


Why microprocessor uses the binary number system not the desimal or any other number system?

-There is a speculation of the fact that Humans use base 10 system is because they have 10 fingers. But there is no speculation behind the fact that the computers use binary system. The binary system is used in computers, because 1 and zero represent the two voltage levels of on and off. There are 10 digits in Decimal system: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 There are only 2 digits in Binary system: 0,1 (Binary digits are referred as bits) moaiz123@gmail.com
