Computers and calculators utilize the base 2 because it is easier to program binary numbers (base 2) into the computer than decimal numbers (base 10).
Gee calculators are built in computers, you know. For your answer it is 4536
Adding in base 2 is binary for computers. 10 = 2 because 10 means 1 of your base. The rules are no different.
we humans use the base 10 because it is easier and more comfortable for us than the base 2 used by computers and as such we require less memory in our brain to fathom the answer of a question and subsequently answer or compute them easily that base 2
The math for base 16 is easier and faster than the math for base 2.
Computers use base 2 because a transistor only has two states, on and off and these are best represented by a 0 and a 1. Transistors are the building blocks of a computer's ICs.
10 Base 2
Base on purposed, computers are either general purpose or special purpose. General purpose computers are meant for all manner of tasks while Special purpose computers are tailored for unique task.
Computers primarilary work with the Binary numbering system (0 and 1) which is known as Base 2.
Probably the most common example is the basis of a number system, such as the commonly humanly used base 10 or the binary base 2 used in computers.
one fifth = 1/5 = .2, so 4.5 x .2 = .9 or nine tenths. windows computers have calculators that will tell you. go to start menu, programs, accessories, calculator
x = log2(3) is the same as: 2x = 3 You can find it by: log3/log2 = .477/.30 = 1.59 (where log by itself assumes base 10, which most calculators and spreadsheets have built in functions)
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.
