The decimal system, also known as base-10, is the most familiar numerical system used by humans.
What is the decimal and binary system?
The decimal system employs 10 digits (0-9) to represent numbers, with each digit's place value determined by powers of 10. In contrast, the binary system, or base-2, uses only two digits (0 and 1).
So, In binary, each digit's place value corresponds to powers of 2. While decimal is intuitive for human understanding, binary is fundamental in computer science, as computers use binary code to process and store information. Converting between the two systems involves understanding their unique positional notation and place value systems.
