Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Computers can represent numbers using binary code in the form of digital 1s and 0s inside the central processing unit (CPU) and RAM. These digital numbers are electrical signals that are either on or off inside the CPU or RAM.

Detailed explanation-2: -Computer instructions are written in binary, also known as machine code. Computer hardware operates on a series of these binary instructions through pulsating power signals that signify either OFF or ON based on the binary digits 0 and 1 respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -All of us know that computer understands the language of only two numbers that is Binary 0 ( zero ) and 1 ( one ) . The binary number system is a base 2 number system that uses only two numbers 0 and 1 to represent any number.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary information is sometimes also referred to as machine language since it represents the most fundamental level of information stored in a computer system. At a physical level, the 0s and 1s are stored in the central processing unit of a computer system using transistors.

Detailed explanation-5: -That language of 1’s and 0’s is called binary. Computers speak in binary because of how they are built. A computer is nothing more than a vast collection of switches. There are millions of nanoscopically small electronic switches on those oddly etched boards within the computer.
