Each binary digit represents 2 times that of the digit to its right. So for example: 10b = 2d 100b = 4d 1010b = 8d + 2d = 10d
Binary numbers particularly in computing tend to be 8 digit. 00000000 = 0 00000010 = 2 00000100 = 4 00001000 = 8 00010000 = 16 00100000 = 32 01000000 = 64 10000000 =128
A binary number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is two times that of the digit to its right.Similarly, a decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.
Computers do much of their processing in binary. Hexadecimal is used as a kind of shortcut (easier to read for humans): each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits.
In binary code, the number 100 represents the decimal number four. Binary code is a system of representing numbers using only two digits, 0 and 1. Each digit in a binary number represents a power of 2, with the rightmost digit representing 2^0, the next digit to the left representing 2^1, and so on. Therefore, in the binary number 100, the rightmost digit is 0 (representing 2^0), the next digit to the left is 0 (representing 2^1), and the leftmost digit is 1 (representing 2^2), which adds up to the decimal number four.
