Mathematics · True or False?

The binary system only uses two digits

The answer is True.

Explanation

It is a base-2 numeral system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent numbers. Each digit is called a bit (binary digit), and each position represents a power of 2. For example, binary 101 equals 5 (4 + 0 + 1). It is the fundamental system used in all digital electronics and computer processing, where 1 and 0 correspond to electrical states (on/off).
