5 in binary is 101. Binary system uses only 0s and 1s (bits). 5 requires 3 bits to represent
6 in binary is 110. Binary uses only 0s and 1s (bits). 6 requires 3 bits to represent
Binary uses base 2 instead of decimal's base 10. Binary uses only digits 0 and 1 (bits). Modern computers use binary due to digital circuitry simplicity
Octal uses base 8, where each place represents a power of 8. Decimal system uses base 10, with each place representing a power of 10. Octal numbers can be easily converted from binary by grouping digits into groups of 3
Binary numbers use only two symbols: 0 and 1. Ancient Egyptian scribes used binary fractions for measurements. Chinese I Ching system used binary hexagrams from 9th century BC. Indian Pingala developed binary system for prosody in 2nd century BC
Binary system is crucial for computer information storage and calculation. Instructions require pencil, paper, and calculator (recommended). Process takes 15-20 minutes
