Binary is a numbering system with base 2, using only 0s and 1s.
The numbering system that binary uses is base 2 with only 0s and 1s. To understand why it is called base 2, let's break it down:
In a base numbering system, the base represents the total number of unique digits used. For example, in base 10 (which is commonly used in everyday life), we have 10 unique digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
In binary (base 2), we only have 2 unique digits: 0 and 1. This means that any number in the binary system can be represented using only these two digits.
So, to sum it up, binary is a numbering system that uses base 2 with only 0s and 1s.
The correct answer is:
Base 2 with only 0s and 1s
