Answer 2

Answer:

The binary system uses the power of 2 for the positional values.

Explanation:

The binary number uses 2 as the positional value as binary number only contains 0 and 1 as its primary value. The computer stores data in form of binary codes that is in 0s and 1s, therefore, the basic operations of a microprocessor is done in binary codes. All the digital information is first converted into binary so the computer can process and act on the information, the binary system basically uses 0s and 1s as “Yes” and “No”, “On” or “Off”.
