binary.

binary is only made up of os and 1s

only two values

place value has 10 values

the standard on and off symbol is a 1 and 0

0 or 1= one bit (binary digit)

8 bits= 1 Byte

1000 Bytes= 1 Kylobyte (Kb)

1000 Kb= 1 Megebyte (Mb)

1000 Mb= Gigabyte (Gb)

binary representation

one switch an only represent 2 possible states= 1 and 0/ on and off

two switches can represent 4 states

come up in powers of 2

3 bits is 2 to the power of 3 which is 8

16 8 4 2 1

0 1 1 0 1

8+4+1=13

1= 01

2=10

3=11 because it is 1+2= 3
