Mike:

To find clarity in this subject, I looked it up by "googling".
The computer doesn't have ten fingers, as we do and therefore using the
figure 10 in our decimal system, or fractional values.
It has only "two" fingers, due to the transistor technology, which are
off/on or 0/1.Henceforth the expression "binary", where times ten is
translated into times two.
Anyone wanting to know more, is welcome to "google" themselves. I like math,
but not that much.

Harry.
