Step-by-step explanation:

Whilst it is impractical to convert all the numbers to binary, I will explain how binary works to you.

Binary is usually composed of eight bits, each representing a different number.

0000 0000

Each 0 represents a column in an 8-bit binary number. The far-right column starts at 1 and doubles each time you change to the left column.

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

A number 1 means that there is a number in that column whereas a 0 means there isn't, like the normal "0 means off and 1 means on" system. When there is a 1 in every column:

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

There can be a maximum value of 255.

For example, the number 79 would be represented in binary as:

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1

64 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 79

Hope this helps!
