If you have natural number then why you use binary number in computer?

Humans understand natural numbers (1,2,3,etc) , but computers only understand binary (0,1). Computers only understand either 0 as "off" and 1 as "on."

How computers use binary codes?
Computers have zero IQ. Computer can understand or feel "High voltage" or "Low voltage" or you can say, on and off. Computers use '0' for low voltage and '1' for high voltage. by using the conbinations of '0' and '1' all numbers and characters are classified. for example- if you have to write 'A', It is represented in ASCII code assigned to it and then converted to binary, hence use it.
Why do you use binary system in digital electronics?
because binary system is the easy way to understand the inputs and outputs. and it has inly two values 1 or 0;
Why does the computer use the binary number system?
A computer can only distinguish between two states: on and off. So it can only use two numbers.Because the first computer consisted of rows of switches which were either on - or off. The binary number system uses a 1 and 0 in place of the on and off functions.Hello,The computer uses the binary system because the information in a computer is actually electrical pulses (on/off) And because of that we use 0 (off) and 1 (on) to make it easier for us to calculate it :)Actually, we don't really have a choice in using the binary system. Computers are electrical machines, so we are pretty much forced to use it as the lowest level of communication. Then past that there's hexadecimal, then plain text.the computer uses binary number system because the computer can understanding the binary language that is (0,1),and data which are entered by the input device the computer can convert each word into binary number that is (0,1)and then it process the data and again convert into machine language(binary language) to high level language and then we can saw and understand the output result.Binary is used in all computers because at the hardware level everything is simply on or off, 1 or 0. With only two possible symbols to physically represent, binary systems are extremely simple to implement, whether through mechanical means or through electro-chemical means: a switch is either on or off; a capacitor either holds enough electrical charge or it does not; polarised material is either positively charged or it is negatively charged; a punch card either has a hole at a specific location or it does not. Any medium that can easily differentiate between two possible states can therefore be used to store and retrieve digital data. The simpler the data representation is to implement, the faster the machine will operate. And there simply is no numbering system any simpler than binary.You can represent 0 and 1 with a simple change of state--on or off. And they can be used to convey the most complex data.Here's an example. Imagine you have a little box with 4 buttons on it. These are the buttons:1248If you press a button, it equals that number. If you don't press the button, it equals 0. If you press more than one button, they're added together.Now look what happens if you press the buttons in different combinations:no presses = 0press 1 only, total = 1press 2 only, total = 2press 1 + 2, total = 3press 4 only, total = 4press 1 + 4, total = 5press 2 + 4, total = 6press 1 + 2 + 4, total = 7press 8, total = 8press 1 + 8, total = 9And that is exactly how one "byte" (which contains 8 "bits," each of which can just be on or off) expresses the digits from 0 to 9. And so you can make any number, any number at all, because all numbers consist of the digits from 0 to 9. And you can add, subtract, multiply, divide, and more by turning those buttons or switches on and off.It gets a little more complicated with letters and special characters (all the symbols you can type that aren't letters and numbers), but the principle is the same.Along with the data, though, you have to make rules for interpreting it. For instance, you have to make a rule that says the first bit is worth 1, the second 2, and so on. And there are very elaborate rules for how the computer receives, translates, and returns all kinds of data. Those rules are definitions and programs. It even has to have rules for making definitions and programs, and those rules add up to what we call a "language."You see what we can do with computers. If you're old enough to have watched the possibilities grow over the decades, you are probably more amazed than if you have just grown up with it. And we are really only just beginning. What we have now is still very primitive.Those 0's and 1's (which we call "binary" and which we can use to mean on/off or yes/no) are incredibly powerful when you combine them with logical reasoning.
Does Ben 10 know how to use a computer?
Of Course He knows how to use a computer!!! my 8 year old cousin can use a computer _____________________________________________________________________ just like the other one said HE KNOWS HOW TO USE A COMPUTER! my sister is like 7 years old and can use computer!
What kind of computer does Hetty from NCIS use?
I believe they use a Dell computer
What are number systems use in computer?
Binary Number System
First computer to use binary number system?
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.
What number system did the first electronic computer use?
Binary
What base system does a computer use?
Computers are based on a binary number system.
What are number systems use in computer to store data and perform calculations?
Binary number system ,which has only two digits 0 and 1.
What language does computer use?
Binary
Why does a computer only use binary dater?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "binary dater".
What is the advantage of having the binary number system to represent data inside the computer instead of the decimal number system?
They use the binary sysem because the number 1 means the switch is turned on and the number 0 means the switch is off. There is no way to use the decimal number system.
Use of binary number in business?
Binary number are hardly ever used in business.
What decimal number is equivalent to binary number 121?
That's not a binary number ! Binary numbers can only use the digits 1 and 0.
