The modern binary number system was studied in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries by Thomas
Harriot, Juan Caramuel y Lobkowitz, and Gottfried Leibniz. However, systems related to binary numbers
have appeared earlier in multiple cultures including ancient Egypt, China, and India. Leibniz was
specifically inspired by the Chinese I Ching.
Binary describe a numbering scheme in which there are only two possible values for each digit 0 or 1
and is the basis for all binary code used in computing system.
Binary is the only language understand by computer and translated by the machine language which
contains 0 and 1.
A binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, a
method of mathematical expression which uses only two symbols: typically "0" (zero) and "1" (one
The term binary also refers to any digital encoding/decoding system in which there are exactly two
possible states. In digital data memory, storage, processing and communications, the 0 and 1 values are
sometimes called low and high, respectively. In transistors, 1 refers to a flow of electricity, while 0
represents no flow of electricity.
Since the binary system uses only two digits or bits and represents numbers using varying patterns of 1s
and 0s, it is known as a base-2 system. Here, 1 refers to "on" or "true," while 0 refers to "off" or "false."
In contrast, the decimal numbering system is a base-10 system, where each possible place in a number
can be one of 10 digits (0-9). In a multidigit number, the rightmost digit is in the first place, the digit next
to it on the left is in 10th place, the digit further left is in 100th place and so on.
The binary number system is the base of all computing systems and operations. It enables devices to
store, access and manipulate all types of information directed to and from the CPU or memory. This
makes it possible to develop applications that enable users to do the following:

The binary schema of digital 1s and 0s offers a simple and elegant way for computers to work. It also
offers an efficient way to control logic circuits and to detect an electrical signal's true (1) and false (0)
states.
BIT
A single binary digit is called bit. A binary consist of several bits example are 10101 is a five bit

NOTE, binary number can be done in different ways like, binary arithmetic.
Binary arithmetic operation :like we perform arithmetic operation, in numeric, subtraction and
multiplication, and division, operations on binary numbers. And also binary number can be
converted into other number system such as
STEP 1
First divide the number (4) by 2 using integer quotient obtaining in these step direction for the
next continue with the step until the quotient become zero e.g.
Division Reminder
4 divide by 2 equal to 2 0
2 divided by 2 equal to 1 0
1 divided by 2 equal to 0 1
Step 2
Now write the remainder in reverse chronolical order (i.e from bottom to
top).
We have to count the number of zero's and one's. So ,4 in binary is 100 . Hence there are (2)
zero's and (1) one . Hence,we have 3 bits,therefore ,the number of bis does 4 in binary have is
3.
A number system with its base as 8 and uses digits from 0 to 7 is called Octal Number System. The word
octal is used to represent the numbers that have eight as the base. The octal numbers have many
applications and importance such as it is used in computers and digital numbering systems. In the
number system, octal numbers can be converted to binary numbers, decimal numbers, and to
hexadecimal numbers.
Binary numbers can be translated into text, character using American Standard Code Information
Interchange (ASCII ).
The ASCII is the most common character encoding format to text days in computers and on the
internal ,there unique values for 128 alphabetics , numeric and special additional charactes and control
codes.
BINARY ADDITION
Its possible to add two binary numbers and will give us a binary itself.its the simplest method.
Example
1101
+ 1001
----
10110.
