As we know that Binary Number System is made up of binary Numbers which has base or radix 2 and it uses the numbers 0 and 1. The mathematical operations that are done on Binary Numbers are: binary addition, binary subtraction, binary multiplication and Binary Division.

Binary numbers can be used for representing different other number systems number such as: decimal number system, hexadecimal number system and octal number system. Each digit in binary number is represented with base-2 having powers starting from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ...... and so on.

2⁰ = 1 ; 2¹ = 2 ; 2² = 4 ; 2³ = 8

The binary value of 13 is given below:

The table for equivalent binary value for decimal is given below:

Decimal	Binary
0	0000
1	0001
2	0010
3	0011
4	0100
5	0101
6	0110
7	0111
8	1000
9	1001
10	1010
11	1011
12	1100
13	1101
14	1110
15	1111

The binary numbers 0 and 1 is used to represent “bits” as 0 and 1 are called bits and 8 bits makes a “byte”. Binary numbers is also used to make digital gates which are used in digital electronic circuit making.
