Binary number 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
Binary logarithm Binary logarithm In mathematics, the binary logarithm () is the power to which the number must be raised to obtain the value . That is, for any real number , For example, the binary logarithm of is , the binary logarithm of is , the binary logarithm of is , and the binary logarithm of is . The binary logarithm is the logarithm to the base . The binary logarithm function is the inverse function of the power of two function. As well as , alternative notations for the binary logarithm include , , (the notation preferred by ISO 31-11
