Because CPUs (heart of computer) main part consists of triggers - electronic devices that can be in one of two possible states: charged, discharged. So, one trigger can store one binary digit. Combining triggers in rows we can store big binary digits. Adding combinational logic we can perform basic ariphmetics.
They use the binary code (1010101011001100)
The first computer to use the binary number system was probably the Z1, started by Konrad Zuse in 1936. It was a mechanical computer, not fully programmable, but is still considered a computer.
