What is Binary?

In computing, we often use two systems to represent numbers: binary and denary. 

The binary system uses only two digits, 0 and 1 because computers only understand this.
While the denary system is the one we use every day, which includes the digits from 0 to 9. 

In denary, a number is represented with Units, Tens, hundreds, thousands  (Goes up by x10)
e.g. 1000 100 10 1

In binary, a number is represented with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 .... (goes up by x2)
e.g. 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Each Binary digit, is called a "bit".

E.g. The denary number 64 can be represented in binary (0s and 1s) as 01000000.

Drag the numbers into the correct category. Can the number be a binary number or not?

32
16
1000

Example question:  
Convert the 8-bit binary number 10011010 into denary.

Step 1: Write the binary headings.
Headings for 8 bits:
128  64  32  16   8   4   2   1

Step 2: Put the binary number underneath
128  64  32  16   8   4   2   1
   1     0    0     1    1   0  1   0
Step 3: Add the heading values where there is a 1.
128  64  32  16   8   4   2   1
   1     0    0     1    1   0  1   0
= 128 + 16 + 8 + 2 
= 154
