the numerals of a number system which uses a
base of 2 rather than the
base of 10 used in the customary number system. The binary system uses combinations of the digits 0 and 1 to
express all other
numbers. This
results in large
strings of figures to represent a number. For
example, the number twenty would be written as 10100 in this system.

binary is a number system in which the
base used is two, each number being expressed in powers of two by using only two digits, specifically 0 and 1. Because this system uses just two digits, it produces long
numbers in comparison to a
base ten (decimal) system. For
example, the number fifty-nine would be expressed as the numeral 1110 11 in binary digits.
