First lets start with some basic concepts. We normall use base 10 (0 through 9); Binary or Base 2 uses 1's and 0's. In base 10 the place values are based on 10 ( ie 14 means one set of 10 + 4); in binary the place values are based on 2. 2 would be represented as 10 in binary, 4 would be represented as 100 in binary, 5 would be represented as 101 in binary. Applying this to 14 results in one set of 8 + one set of 4 plus one set of 2, which gives us 1110 which is 14 in binary.
