Detailed explanation-1: -Numbers in a base start from 0. The most commonly and widely used bases are binary number system (Base-2), octal number system (Base-8), decimal number system (Base-10), and hexadecimal number system (base-16).
Detailed explanation-2: -Binary is a base-2 number system invented by Gottfried Leibniz that’s made up of only two numbers or digits: 0 (zero) and 1 (one). This numbering system is the basis for all binary code, which is used to write digital data such as the computer processor instructions used every day.
Detailed explanation-3: -The base of a number system refers to the total number of digits that are actually used in the given number system. The number system that has the base ‘b’ consists of its digits in the [0, b-1] range. This base of the number system is also known as the radix of a number system.
