Question

Where are binary numbers used other than computer programming? Also mention their uses in the ancient times.

Answer 1

Binary numbers – seen as strings of 0's and 1's – are often associated with computers. A computer adds numbers simply by flipping switches. You can simulate computer adding by using this adding board to add binary numbers.
These binary numbers are processed within the micro controller/processor and they convert each commond into the form of sequence of 1 and 0 .

The Mangarevan invention of binary steps, centuries before their formal description by Leibniz, attests to the advancements possible in numeracy even in the absence of notation and thereby highlights the role of culture for the evolution of and diversity in numerical cognition.

More than 300 years ago, the German mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz demonstrated the computational advantages of a binary number system, or base 2.
