How a Number System Works. Number systems are used to describe the quantity of something or represent certain information. Because of this, I can say that the word calculator contains ten letters. Our number system, the decimal system, uses ten symbols. Therefore, decimal is said to be Base Ten. By describing systems with bases, we can gain an understanding of how that particular system works.
At their fundamental level, computers use a numeral system whose digits consist of only two possible values. These digits can either be zeros or ones. This system is known as Binary. It may seem limiting at first, but any number can be represented in Binary. In most cases, you simply need more zeros and ones.
