Question

why decimal number system cannot be used in computers?

Answer 1

unfortunately, computer can't to the same. Instead ,computer represent numbers by using the lowest base number system used by us, which is two .This is the binary number system .Computer use voltages and since voltages changes often, no specific voltage is set for each number in the decimal.........
hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

Binary number system can only be used in computers.

Explanation:

The electronic components like computer operates in two-state nature i.e. binary mode. Reasons of decimal number system cannot being used in computers are:

1. The two-state nature can be easily expressed using binary numbers.

2. Computer circuits need to handle only 2 bits instead of 10 digits of the decimal system. Using 10 different voltage levels can lead to many errors. This simplifies the design of the machine and also reduces the cost and improves the reliability.

3. Binary system is used because all the operations that can be done using decimal system can also be done with a binary number of radix 2. We can represent decimal digits by binary numbers.
