👉 Binary math is a system of arithmetic based on powers of two, using only the digits 0 and 1. It's foundational in computer science and digital electronics, where all data is represented as binary numbers (sequences of 0s and 1s). Operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are performed using bitwise operators (AND, OR, XOR, NOT) that manipulate individual bits rather than decimal values. For example, binary addition follows rules similar to decimal but with only 0s and 1s, and bitwise operations directly affect the binary representation of numbers, enabling efficient computation in hardware and software. This simplicity and alignment with digital systems make binary math indispensable for modern technology.
