because all the data in the computer are processed using voltages as 5v indicates 1 and 0v indicates 0 it is possible to store the voltages in an electronic components thereby we can able to identify the data using simple encoding as 0's and 1's....

∙ 16y agoComputers use the binary system of counting because the storage and calculating components of a computer were originally based on the magnetic field of small dots of magnetic material. This could only take the two forms representing zero and one; hence the use of the binary system for doing calculations.

∙ 11y agoThe basic construction of computers is the reason why Binary is the core language for them. Underneath all computer languages, a conversion to binary takes place so the computer can actually process the information. Programming in Binary is excessively difficult, so other languages were invented as a mask for it. As for an example as to why we don't program in binary anymore, the word "Hello" in binary is "0100100001000101010011000100110001001111"
Computers store data in groupings of 8 bits (1 byte). So, a single character, such as the letter "R" is stored in memory and processed in the computer processor as "01010010" versus "R" The 1's and 0's represent which state each bit within a byte must be in order to represent the desired data. A 1 is "enabled" or "on" while a 0 is "disabled" or "off." All of this sounds complex, but it really factors down to turning a bunch of tiny switches on or off in order to cause a desired output.
Computing has attempted to find a more efficient process, but so far even future forms of computing have fallen back onto the basic principles of binary for data processing.

Why computer use number system?
Computers cannot understand languages. They can only compute data. Because of that, we use binary code because that is pure data.
Why does a computer only use binary dater?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "binary dater".
What are number systems use in computer to store data and perform calculations?
Binary number system ,which has only two digits 0 and 1.
What is the use of ASCII in computer system?
ASCII is the representation of Binary Digits (0 & 1s) which are interpreted by Processor as meaningful data.
Why is all data in binary format?
A computer's hard disk stores data by setting the magnetic polarisation of a sector to one of two possible states. We can represent these two alternatives as 0 & 1. We can then use a combination of stored "0's & 1's" to represent any data we wish. A2 Binary has only 2 states, one and zero. An electrical switch has only 2 states, On and Off. Computers use electricity to operate and so can use transistor switches in an on or off state to represent any number. Everything to do with digital computers is in binary, in it's basic form. You only perceive data as something else when this binary information is acted upon by program which translates it.
What language does computer use?
Binary
What Numbers that computers use to store and process data?
BINARY
Importance of binary numbers in computer?
the importance of binary numbers in standard computing is basically everything. computers only understand base 2, that is a 0 (off) and a 1 (on). every piece of data passed through any part of the computer is done so using base 2 (binary). that said, there are theorised base 3 computers, called 'genetic computers' which use genes and magnetism to produce a base 3 process, but this was only done as a computer sciences project and is likely to not every be implemented in the mainstream.
How a software recover the data which is deleted from a computer?
Try to use Mac data recovery software. But only it run in in Mac (Apple) computer.
Why binary number system used in digital system?
They are the best numbers for computers to use. In simple terms, as computers are electronic they use electronic currents, which can be on or off, like a light switch. 1 and 0, which are the only digits binary has, can be used to represent these two states. Binary forms the basis to all computer memory and operations.
What numbering system do computer use?
They use the binary code (1010101011001100)
How would you use binary in a sentence?
A computer's binary code is made up of 0 and 1
