An interesting fact about the computer system
How does it manipulate and store data?
Binary (or base-2) a numeric system that only uses two digits — 0 and 1.
- Computers operate in binary, meaning they store data and perform calculations using only zeros and ones.
- A single binary digit can only represent True (1) or False (0) in Boolean logic.
- Computers use the binary number system to manipulate and store all of their data including numbers, words, videos, graphics, and music.
Step 1 – Take a Number, divide that number by 2, and write the integer value of the quotient (ignore the decimal part).
Step2- Again divide the integer quotient by 2 and write integer value of quotient (ignore the decimal part). Repeat steps till quotient will be 1.
Ex. (23)10=(?)2
Note-Write 1(ON) for odd numbers and 0 (Off) for even numbers.
Thus, the binary value of (23)10 = (10111)2
