Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Finger binary is a system for counting and displaying binary numbers on the fingers of either or both hands. Each finger represents one binary digit or bit. This allows counting from zero to 31 using the fingers of one hand, or 1023 using both: that is, up to 25−1 or 210−1 respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hang-loose (thumb and little finger extended) is 17. This means that on one hand you can count up to 31; with both hands combined, 1, 023 (1+2+4+8+16+32+ 64+128+256+512).
Detailed explanation-3: -When writing or reading a large number, begin at the left with the largest group, and proceed to the right. For instance, 7, 482 is read as seven thousand, four hundred, eighty-two.
