To the best of my knowledge (which is not completely inconsiderable), there is only one binary number system. That is the system in which each place is worth twice that of the preceding place, starting at 1. A 1 will count the place, a 0 will not.
You may have meant how many number system are there 'like' the binary system, that is to say, how many number system are there which, like the binary system, do not use 10 digits. The answer to that is an infinite number. Binary is only special in that it uses the least possible number of digits. Our normal system (decimal) uses 10 digits (0-9). A number system can be made which uses any number of digits.
The only three that I know of which are commonly used are the following. Decimal is our normal day to day number system with the digits 0-9. Binary is the number system used by computers and has only two digits, 0 and 1. Hexadecimal is a number system used by programs and has 16 digits, 0-f (that is, it uses 0-9 like normal, but continues by replacing "10" with "a", "11" with "b" and so on, up to "15" with "f").
To look into this more fully, they're called bases. Binary is base 2, decimal is base 10, and hexadecimal is base 16.

How many digits are used in a binary number system and what are they?
There are two digits in the binary number system. 0 and 1
What is the advantage of decimal number system to binary number system?
The decimal representation of numbers is shorter. Binary number require approx 3.3 times as many digits.
How many different symbols are used in the binary number system?
Over 9000!
How many digits are there in the binary equivalent of 56?
56 in binary is 111000. Unlike the decimal number system where we use the digits.

Explain the advantages of hexodecimal number system to binary system?
with hexidecimal you neednt use as many chartictors to represent a number. in binary 15 would be 01111 where as in hex it would be E resulting in much quicker coding times
How many digits are in the binary system and what are they?
The binary system uses two digits, zero and one.
Who invented the modern binary system?
Binary systems appear in many ancient cultures. The earliest is believed to be the I Ching, a Chinese philosophical text that dates back to the 9th century BC. Other early examples of binary systems include the Mangarevan invention of binary steps for arithmetic, Shao Yang's binary arrangement of hexagrams, and Pingala's work on prosody. The modern binary number system was studied by Gottfried Leibniz in 1679. Leibniz published a work in 1703 that describes the binary system of the Chinese and his own system of binary numbers. Leibniz attributed the invention of binary system to Fuxi.
What are the types of number system?
there are many types. like roman ,egyptian ,mayan.
How many numbers in the binary system?
Two
How many digits in the binary system'?
Two of them.
Why do you use octal and hexadecimal number system as shortcut notation?
Memory dump which are in binary numbers would have many numbers of 0s and 1s. working with these numbers would be very difficult. Hence two number system hexadecimal and octal number system is used because these numbers are inter convertible with binary numbers by the concept of bits.
