Binary arithmetic operations.
Fixed point number usually allow only 8 bits (32 bit computing) of binary numbers for the fractional portion of the number which means many decimal numbers are recorded inaccurately. Floating Point numbers use exponents to shift the decimal point therefore they can store more accurate fractional values than fixed point numbers. However the CPU will have to perform extra arithmetic to read the number when stored in this format.

A term consists of a collection of numbers and variables combined together through the use of binary (or other) operations. They are the building blocks of mathematical expressions. Terms will usually stand by themselves or have an addition or subtraction sign before them.
The sum of binary numbers is also a binary number.
Binary counters are used in simple timing operations. They can generate clock signals among many other less than complex operations.
