The binary number system is based on two numbers 1 and 0.
Counting is similar to the base 10 number system.
1 = 1
2 = 10 the 1 is in the two's column.
3 = 11 one two and one one equals three.
4 = 100 the 1 is in the four's column and is = to 2^2.
5 = 101 which is one four and one one. 4 + 1 = 5
6 = 110
7 = 111
8= 1000 which the 1 is in the 8's column.
Each column is based on a power of 2. 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
I know some concepts are hard.
I hope this is helpful to you.
After posting my answer lines were combined making things less clear. I debated about deleting my post, but thought it might make sense to you.
I like watching the Coding Train and I have included a link to a video on the binary number system which I hope is helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meGcdIoTYgw
