What is the base of binary number system?

Answer 1

Answer #2:

The base of the binary number system is 2 .

=========================================

Answer #1:

1's and 0's my friend.

Binary = bi = 2 numbers

1

0

1 = +5v charge on a hard drive

0 = 0 charge

So your hard drive is primarily broken down into positive 5 volt charges and spaces with no charge or a slight negative charge, which the computer reads as ones and zeros.

these 1's and 0's are then turned in to a hexidecimal system which is then turned into Ascii test, which is the readable text you see here:

Ascii text = H E L L O

Hex = 656C6C6F

Binary = 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111

Binary numbers as the name suggest uses only two digits which are 0 and 1. combination of 0's and 1's are used for representing other numbers. this system is used to communicate with machine so machine understandable language is known as machine language. Similarly in Octal number system 8(octal) digits starting from 0 thru 7 like wise decimal(=10) system 0 thru 9 hexadecimal(=16) 0 thru 9 and A thru F to constitute 16 digits.
