Question: what is the base 2 repesentation of 10
In the base 10 system (decimal), numbers are the sum of powers of 10. e.g. 963 = 9*(10^2) + 6*(10^1) + 3*(10^0)
In base 2 system (binary), numbers are given as a sum of powers of 2.
So 10 = 8 + 2 = 2^3 + 2^1
10 = 1*(2^3) + 0*(2^2) + 1*(2^1) + 0*(2^0)
So 10 [base 2] = 1010
