(1) If we had written the number as a decimal or even in binary then it looks a pretty nondescript number.

(2) Because it's all to do with binary notation, since two raise to the power of ten gives 1024 not 1000.

(3) About the only thing this calculator lacks is the ability to switch from decimal to hex to octal to binary .

(4) The statement Q n is then that the nth digit in the binary decimal for [Omega] is 1.

(5) This observation revealed a familiar light signature, clinching the case for a fading high-mass X-ray binary with a neutron star.

(6) Written out in binary form, a Mersenne number consists of an unbroken string of 1s.

(7) During balanced growth, cells undergoing binary fission must double the number of every kind of RNA and protein molecule every cell cycle.

(8) How many zeros if you convert the result of the previous factorial into binary ?

(9) Working on networks, I find there's always a need to convert between decimal, hexadecimal, octal and binary .

(10) In addition to binary and decimal, computers can also speak in octal and hex.

(11) Well from this strange extract from an encyclopedia, the dead star is a binary twin to our sun and the 10th planet is our planet X.

(12) The 0s and 1s are then formed together to produce binary , which is interpreted by the computer as a byte of data.

(13) For example, written out in binary form, a Mersenne number consists of an unbroken string of 1s - 6,972,593 of them in the case of the record holder.

(14) Edinburgh's a binary (two sun) system, but other than that novelty, it looks fairly uninteresting at first glance.

(15) The existence of nukes upped the ante, of course, and reduced the complexities of geopolitical competition to a binary outcome: off or on.

(16) Electronic computers are today machines based on binary arithmetic but this was not so for the ENIAC computer.

(17) Computing individual hexadecimal digits using that formula relies on a venerable technique known as the binary algorithm for exponentiation.

(18) The cultural preference for base 10 and the engineering advantages of base 2 have nothing to do with any intrinsic properties of the decimal and binary numbering systems.

(19) Mythos and logos form the binary base for Armstrong's explanation not only of the emergence of the modern world but also of the fierce response by fundamentalists to its excesses.

(20) But a neutron star in a close binary would be expected to radiate X-rays, and none are seen.
