Why do computers use the binary system?
because electronic signals can represent the zeros and ones
because it is less expensive than the base-10 system
because most computers are built overseas
because the zeros and ones represent analog and digital signals
The correct answer is: because electronic signals can represent the zeros and ones.
Computers use the binary system because it is a system that can be easily translated into electronic signals that are either "on" or "off," representing the binary digits of 0 and 1. This allows the computer to store and process information using electronic switches, making it a highly efficient system for computing.
