Understanding Binary & Decimal Conversion
The **binary system** is a base-2 numeral system, consisting of only two digits: **0 and 1**.
Computers use binary because digital electronics operate with two voltage states: on (1) and off (0).
How to Convert:
- Binary to Decimal: Multiply each binary digit by 2 raised to the power of its position (right to left) and sum the results.
- Decimal to Binary: Divide the decimal number by 2, record the remainders, and read them in reverse order.
