When writing numbers in our normal base 10 (decimal) system recall that each place in the number represents a power of 10 -- $1, 10, 10^2=100, 10^3 = 1000$ etc.
\nIn binary each place represents a power of 2. So reading from the right the places represent $1, 2, 2^2=4, 2^3 = 8, 2^4 = 16$ etc.
\nA 1 in the place indicates that it is 'switched on' and a 0 that it is 'switched off'.
\nFor instance the binary number $1011_2$ represents $(1 \\times 8) + (1 \\times 2) + (1 \\times 1) =11_{10}$.
\nSee http://www.purplemath.com/modules/numbbase.htm for more on binary numbers.
