When dealing with base 2 (a/k/a "binary"), when counting upwards, when a digit goes to 2 it creates a new digit to the left.

Examples of base 2 usage:

00

01

10

or

010

011

100

Base 10 means that when counting upwards, when a digit goes to ten it creates a new digit to the left.

09

10

or

If you were dealing with base 16 (a/k/a "hexidecimal"), when counting upwards, when a digit goes to 16 it creates a new digit to the left.
