Binary numbers are a numeral system that represents numeric values using two different symbols, typically 0 and 1. Each place in a binary number represents a power of two, with the rightmost digit representing 1, the next representing 2, then 4, 8, 16 and so on. Binary numbers are used in digital electronics and computing to represent all data as sequences of 0s and 1s, allowing for simple on/off electric circuits that can be used to perform logical operations and store and process data.
