The binary system allows digital devices to represent any number by using ____
A
0s and 1s
B
letters and numbers
C
DOS Code
D
1s and 2s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In mathematics and in computing systems, a binary digit, or bit, is the smallest unit of data. Each bit has a single value of either 1 or 0, which means it can’t take on any other value. Computers can represent numbers using binary code in the form of digital 1s and 0s inside the central processing unit (CPU) and RAM.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binary Number System: According to digital electronics and mathematics, a binary number is defined as a number that is expressed in the binary system or base 2 numeral system. It describes numeric values by two separate symbols; 1 (one) and 0 (zero). The base-2 system is the positional notation with 2 as a radix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution: The 0 and 1 in the binary numbering system are called binary digits or Bits. A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data that a computer can process and store. A bit is always in one of two physical states, similar to an on/off light switch. The state is represented by a single binary value, usually a 0 or 1. However, the state might also be represented by yes/no, on/off or true/false.
