This article is based on the different numbering systems we have. Every number can be represented as the sum of increasing powers of another number. This is the basic principle of every numbering system. The numbering system we generally use is known as the Decimal System. In this system we use the base number as 10.
Eg. 379 can be represented as (3x100) + (7x10) + (9x1). In this example the increasing powers of 10 are used.
In the above example, if we use 2 instead of 10, it will constitute the Binary System.
