Because, a computer can only understand binary numbers(0s and 1s). Actually, they are represented internally as voltage levels, a positive voltage level to represent 1 and a 0V to represent 0, generally represented as ON and OFF. The voltage levels are dependent on the implementation so even a -5 can be interpretted by the computer as a 0 and +5 as 1,etc.

Is x on complement of real numbers is a binary operation?

No, the complement of real numbers is not a binary operation. A binary operation requires two elements from a set to produce a new element within the same set. The complement of the set of real numbers typically refers to elements not included in that set, which does not satisfy the criteria of producing a new element within the set of real numbers.

Importance of binary numbers in computer?

the importance of binary numbers in standard computing is basically everything. computers only understand base 2, that is a 0 (off) and a 1 (on). every piece of data passed through any part of the computer is done so using base 2 (binary). that said, there are theorised base 3 computers, called 'genetic computers' which use genes and magnetism to produce a base 3 process, but this was only done as a computer sciences project and is likely to not every be implemented in the mainstream.


How do you make 19 out of 1 2 3 5 and multiplication division adding and subtracting one time?

A binary operation is one which takes two numbers and combines them into one. +,-,* and / are all binary operations. If you start with 4 numbers and apply one binary opeartion (to two of the numbers) you are left with three. After two binary operations you are left with two numbers and after three binary operations you are left with only one number. You cannot, therefore, carry out the fourth binary operation if you start with four numbers.
