Understanding Number Systems
This tool allows you to convert between the two most fundamental number systems in computing:
- Decimal (Base-10): The number system we use in everyday life. It uses ten digits (0-9).
- Binary (Base-2): The number system that computers use at their most basic level. It uses only two digits (0 and 1). Each digit is called a "bit".
Understanding how to convert between these systems is a core concept in computer science, digital electronics, and networking. Our real-time converter makes it easy to see the relationship between a decimal number and its binary representation.
