Because binary (0 or 1) is the only format that the computer can understand. A transistor is either off or on. There is no other state.

In what form is data stored in a computer system?
It is stored in binary, that is in the form of ones and zeroes.
What is binary form in computer?
First we have to know that "in which form data is stored on computer is logical" (may be the two stable states of a flip-flop, two positions of an electrical switch, two distinct voltage or current levels allowed by a circuit) According to computers Binary form means 0 or 1, through which data in computer is stored to represented
Numbers are stored and transmitted inside a computer in?
binary form by SaravanaUltimate
What data does the computer record?
Computers record data in the form of "bits", Binary Digits.
Is data stored in computer is in digital form?
Yes, it is.
What do bytes take the form of?
A byte (in computer terminology) is equal to 8 bits. A bit is a single binary number (0 or 1). Therefore a byte takes the form of 8 of the smallest pieces of data stored by a computer.
When talking about a computer what is data?
To us humans, data is raw facts or figures. To a computer, data means nothing since a computer is not a sentient being with intelligence but a marvelous and complex machine which is made up of billions of switches. Data is stored as a binary code, i.e. as a series of 0's and 1's. Different encoding schemes are used to decide how text, audio, graphics etc are to be stored as binary data. Data can be present in a computer in different forms. In a hard disk, data is stored in the form of orientation of particles of the magnetic material that makes the surface of its platters. In RAM modules, data is stored as the state of flip flops. One state is used to represent 1 and other one to represent 0.
What form must a program be stored in memory?
binary
What is data codes and internal representation in computer?
Data is internally represented in binary form in what we call machine language.
Is a memory address in Binary form?
memory address is stored in binary form
What is data interrogation?
A bdat file is a binary data file. It contains data that is not in the form of text. The data is encoded for the purposes of computer storage and processing.
