Binary numbers follow a place-value rule just like ordinary decimal numbers. The difference is that instead of each digit indicating a power of 10 ("base 10"), binary numbers use powers of 2 ("base 2"). Also, because the digits used can't go any higher than one less than the base, 0 and 1 are the only digits in a binary number just like 0 ... 9 (=10-1) are the only digits in a base 10 number.
To convert a binary number to an ordinary base-10 number, start reading from the right. Multiply each digit by the power of two corresponding to that position, starting with the zero power. For example, if you had the binary number 100011 you would convert it like this. Remember, conversion starts from the right side so the digits are read and multiplied in the order 1-1-0-0-0-1
1 x 20 + 1 x 21 + 0 x 22 + 0 x 23 + 0 x 24 + 1 x 25 which translates to
1x1 + 1x2 + 0x4 + 0x8 + 0x16 + 1x32
So, 100011 in binary is the same as 35 in ordinary decimal numbers.

What are the numbers in binary?
The only numbers used in binary are 0 and 1
What is a way to describe the world with numbers called?
If you are talking about the binary code then confusing unless you know how to read it properly.
Why prefer hex numbers using in microcontroller?
Internally, computers work in binary, but presenting those in hexadecimal makes for more compact numbers (one hex digit for every four binary digits), and is therefore easier to read.
Is a function that maps binary to natural numbers a bijection?
No. The set of binary numbers includes fractions which are written in binary form. For example, binary(0.1) = decimal(0.5) which is not a natural number.
What two numbers represent a binary digit?
The only two numbers that represent a binary digit are 0 and 1
Why is it important to properly subscript our numbers on the Binary numeral system?
To ensure they are read as binary numbers and not decimal numbers.
Pseudocode for subtraction of two binary numbers?
start read a read b c=a-b print c end
What is the sum of the binary numbers?
The sum of binary numbers is also a binary number.

How is a binary used?
Binary what? Binary numbers? Binary stars? Binary fission?
What are the two numbers that a computer can read?
A computer works in binary, meaning that a computer interprets everything as simply 'on' or 'off', and recognizes two numbers: zero and one.
What numbers is binary made up of?
Binary has all the numbers. Each binary digit can have the value 0 or 1 only.
What is a shorthand way that the computer displays long binary numbers making them easier for human beings to read and understand?
Hexidecimal
