7,332 PointsGood start! each column represents a power of two, and has one of two values: on (1) or off (0). For an eight-bit byte, the columns represent: 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Each 1 in a binary means that bit is "on" and that value should be added to the total. For example: 00000000 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0, and 01100111 = 0 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 103.
