"Binary number In mathematics and digital electronics, a binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, which uses only two symbols: typically 0 (zero) and 1 (one). The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices. The modern binary number system was studied in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries by Thomas Harriot, Juan Caramuel"

The binary system uses only the digits ""0"" and ""1"", while the octal system uses the digits from ""0"" through ""7"". The hexadecimal system uses all the digits from the decimal system, plus the letters ""A"" through ""F"", which represent the numbers 10 to 15 respectively. The ternary and balanced ternary systems have sometimes been used. They are both base 3 systems. Balanced ternary is unusual in having the digit values 1,"

"bases are most commonly used. Computers, at the most basic level, deal only with sequences of conventional zeroes and ones, thus it is easier in this sense to deal with powers of two. The hexadecimal system is used as ""shorthand"" for binary—every 4 binary digits (bits) relate to one and only one hexadecimal digit. In hexadecimal, the six digits after 9 are denoted by A, B, C, D, E, and F (and sometimes a, b, c, d, e, and f). The octal numbering system is also used as another way to represent binary numbers. In this case the base is"
"sixteen values, a nibble is sometimes known as a hexadecimal digit. Octal and hex are convenient ways to represent binary numbers, as used by computers. Computer engineers often need to write out binary quantities, but in practice writing out a binary number such as 1001001101010001 is tedious and prone to errors. Therefore, binary quantities are written in a base-8, or ""octal"", or, much more commonly, a base-16, ""hexadecimal"" or ""hex"", number format. In the decimal system, there are 10 digits, 0 through 9, which combine to form numbers. In an octal system, there are only 8 digits, 0 through 7."
"Skew binary number system The skew binary number system is a non-standard positional numeral system in which the ""n""th digit contributes a value of formula_1 times the digit (digits are indexed from 0) instead of formula_2 times as they do in binary. Each digit has a value of 0, 1, or 2. Notice that a number can have many skew binary representations. For example, a decimal number 15 can be written as 1000, 201 and 122. Each number can be written uniquely in skew binary canonical form where there is only at most one instance of the digit 2, which"
"Binary code A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often the binary number system's 0 and 1. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits, to each character, instruction, etc. For example, a binary string of eight bits can represent any of 256 possible values and can, therefore, represent a wide variety of different items. In computing and telecommunications, binary codes are used for various methods of encoding data, such as character strings, into bit strings. Those methods may use fixed-width"
"through each symbol, in increasing order. Before examining binary counting, it is useful to briefly discuss the more familiar decimal counting system as a frame of reference. Decimal counting uses the ten symbols ""0"" through ""9"". Counting begins with the incremental substitution of the least significant digit (rightmost digit) which is often called the ""first digit"". When the available symbols for this position are exhausted, the least significant digit is reset to ""0"", and the next digit of higher significance (one position to the left) is incremented (""overflow""), and incremental substitution of the low-order digit resumes. This method of reset"
"Finger binary Finger binary is a system for counting and displaying binary numbers on the fingers of one or more hands. It is possible to count from 0 to 31 (2−1) using the fingers of a single hand, or from 0 through 1023 (2−1) if both hands are used. In the binary number system, each numerical digit has two possible states (0 or 1) and each successive digit represents an increasing power of two. Note: What follows is but one of several possible schemes for assigning the values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. to fingers, not necessarily the best."

Every hexadecimal digit corresponds to a sequence of four binary digits, since sixteen is the fourth power of two; for example, hexadecimal 78 is binary . Similarly, every octal digit corresponds to a unique sequence of three binary digits, since eight is the cube of two. Radices are usually natural numbers."

""For a list of bases and their applications, see list of numeral systems.""

"and overflow is repeated for each digit of significance. Counting progresses as follows: Binary counting follows the same procedure, except that only the two symbols ""0"" and ""1"" are available. Thus, after a digit reaches 1 in binary, an increment resets it to 0 but also causes an increment of the next digit to the left: In the binary system, each digit represents an increasing power of 2, with the rightmost digit representing 2, the next representing 2, then 2, and so on. The equivalent decimal representation of a binary number is sum of the powers of 2 which each"
"Double dabble In computer science, the double dabble algorithm is used to convert binary numbers into binary-coded decimal (BCD) notation. It is also known as the shift-and-add-3 algorithm, and can be implemented using a small number of gates in computer hardware, but at the expense of high latency. The algorithm operates as follows: Suppose the original number to be converted is stored in a register that is ""n"" bits wide. Reserve a scratch space wide enough to hold both the original number and its BCD representation; bits will be enough. It takes a maximum of 4 bits in binary to"

In computers, the main numeral systems are based on the positional system in base 2 (binary numeral system), with two binary digits, 0 and 1. Positional systems obtained by grouping binary digits by three (octal numeral system) or four (hexadecimal numeral system) are commonly used. For very large integers, bases 2 or 2 (grouping binary digits by 32 or 64, the length of the machine word) are used, as, for example, in GMP. The numerals used"
"In binary encoding each long number is multiplied by one digit (either 0 or 1), and that is much easier than in decimal, as the product by 0 or 1 is just 0 or the same number. Therefore, the multiplication of two binary numbers comes down to calculating partial products (which are 0 or the first number), shifting them left, and then adding them together (a binary addition, of course): This is much simpler than in the decimal system, as there is no table of multiplication to remember: just shifts and adds. This method is mathematically correct and has the"
"numeral system with an integer base, the number of digits required to express arbitrary numbers is given by the absolute value of the base. For example, the decimal system (base 10) requires ten digits (0 through to 9), whereas the binary system (base 2) has two digits (e.g.: 0 and 1). In a basic digital system, a numeral is a sequence of digits, which may be of arbitrary length. Each position in the sequence has a place value, and each digit has a value. The value of the numeral is computed by multiplying each digit in the sequence by its"

For example, APA style stipulates a thousands separator for ""most figures of 1,000 or more"" except for page numbers, binary digits, temperatures, etc. There are always ""common-sense"" country-specific exceptions to digit grouping, such as year numbers, postal codes and ID numbers of predefined nongrouped format, which style guides usually point out. In binary (base-2), a full space can be used between groups of four digits, corresponding to a nibble, or equivalently to a hexadecimal digit. For integer numbers, dots are used as well to separate groups of four bits. Alternatively, binary digits may be grouped by threes, corresponding to"
"Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Ḵwārizmī wrote an important work about it in the 9th century. The modern Arabic numerals were introduced to Europe with the translation of this work in the 12th century in Spain and Leonardo of Pisa's ""Liber Abaci"" of 1201. In Europe, the complete Indian system with the zero was derived from the Arabs in the 12th century. The binary system (base 2), was propagated in the 17th century by Gottfried Leibniz. Leibniz had developed the concept early in his career, and had revisited it when he reviewed a copy of the I ching from China. Binary numbers"

For example: the number written as ""2000"" in base ten, which translates to ""7D0"" in conventionally-written hexadecimal, would in Bibi-binary be spoken aloud as ""BIDAHO"". Contrary to the numeric conventions used in modern computers, the bibi-binary system represents negative numbers using one's complement, rather than two's complement. Thus: and their sum is written as ""1 1111"" (one of two representations of zero in this system; zero can also be written as ""0 0000"").

Special bit patterns are sometimes used for a sign or for other indications (e.g., error or overflow).

Arithmetic in binary is much like arithmetic in other numeral systems. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed on binary numerals. The simplest arithmetic operation in binary is addition. Adding two single-digit binary numbers is relatively simple, using a form of carrying: Adding two ""1"" digits produces a digit ""0"", while 1 will have to be added to the next column.

"Bi-quinary coded decimal Bi-quinary coded decimal is a numeral encoding scheme used in many abacuses and in some early computers, including the Colossus. The term bi-quinary indicates that the code comprises both a two-state (""bi"") and a five-state (""quin""ary) component. The encoding resembles that used by many abaci, with four beads indicating either 0 through 4 or 5 through 9 and another bead indicating which of those ranges. Several human languages, most notably Khmer and Wolof, also use biquinary systems. For example, the Khmer word for 6, ""pram muoy"", literally means ""five [plus] one"". The numerals from 0 to 9"

The following example demonstrates the OR logical operation on the binary numbers codice_13 and codice_14: Binary numbers are input into the calculator as hexadecimal numbers prepended by an codice_15. First, the operator must divide the numbers into groups of four digits, adding leading zeros if necessary, e.g. splitting codice_13 into groups of four gives codice_17 and codice_18. The equivalent hexadecimal values of these two four-digit binary numbers are codice_19 and codice_15, respectively, which equal hexadecimal codice_21.
