-- The decimal system (base-10) uses 10 digits to write all numbers. -- The binary system (base-2) uses 2 digits to write all numbers.
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.
Not 2 numbers - 2 digits. The digits 0 and 1.
An easy way is to convert them to decimal, subtract, then convert the answer back to binary.
No, 0101111 is not a binary number. Binary numbers are composed of only 0s and 1s, representing the base-2 numeral system. The presence of the leading zero in 0101111 suggests that it may be a binary number, but the inclusion of the digit 2 (represented as '11' in binary) indicates it is not a valid binary representation.
