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.
Base 2
The binary system is the name given to the base-2 number system.

base two
Computers are based on a binary number system.
The base-2 (binary) system is simpler than a system based on any higher integer. In a way, it is the simplest possible number system.
