Numbers can be represented not only in decimal but also in binary where the base instead of being 10 is now 2. In decimal we have the primitive symbols 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and the base 10 is not a primitive symbol but formed by two primitive symbols. In binary the primitive symbols are 0,1 and the base 2 is not a primitive symbol but formed by two primitive symbols. Just like we have in decimal the unit place, the tens place, the hundreds place, the thousands place ... etc., in binary we have the unit place, the twos place, the fours place, the eights place ... etc. If you consider 8 bit binary code, it can have values

00000000

00000001

00000010

00000011

00000100

00000101

11111111

That is an eight bit number can hold values 00000000 to 11111111 and may be treated as numbers of decimals equivalents of 0 to 255.
