Binary number system is just like any number system - it has a base which is equal to number of unique digits in that number system. For example:
Decimal Number System has a base of 10 and it has digits from 0-9 (total no of digits = 10 = base). The number system starts with 0 and goes up to the max digit in the number system. Then the digit at that position becomes zero and the number at higher position becomes one. Let's see if you can follow this by looking at decimal no system first
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 (now the no at least posn is 9 = max possible in a decimal no system, so this posn becomes zero and the no at the next higher level becomes 1)... therefore, after 09 (which is same as 9), you get 10.
Now use the same logic for creating binary numbers (or any no system - octal, hex), just remember binary no. system has only two digits (binary = two) -> 0 and 1... therefore the binary nos go like this (taking 3 leading zeros and keeping in mind that leading zero do not alter the value of a number, eg 09 is same as 9 and 090 is same as 90, similarly for binary 0001 = 1, 0010 =10)
0000, 0001 - least posn = 1 = max digit in binary no system, so next time we change this to zero and increment the next higher posn with 1 - so we get --- 0010
Now increment the least posn by 1, we get ---- 0011
Since both, least n next higher posn is max =1 each, so we make them both zero and the third higher posn = 1 we get -- 0100
and so on we continue - 0100, 0101, 0110, 0111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111.
Finally - the binary nos and their decimal values:
0000 = 0
0001 = 1
0010 = 2
0011 = 3
0100 = 4
0101 = 5
0110 = 6
0111 = 7
1000 = 8
1001 = 9
1010 = 10
Hope this would help you understand how numbers are generated in binary or any number system :)

Decimal is base 10
Binary is base 2
0 = 0
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
and so on
Conversion
Heres how you convert 101 from binary to decimal
1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0 = 5

its common romneys tax plan will enhance your taxes with the help of 500 money obamas will enhance mitts and his taxes. so do you opt to pay greater in taxes together as mitt will pay much less. he already will pay at a decrease value then you definately do now. or how approximately national protection the two have been asked approximately no remember if or no longer they could flow after a terrorist like bin weighted down in yet another u . s . a .. mitt mentioned he wouldnt and obama mentioned he could and did get bin weighted down. or how approximately practise. obama has pushed for retaining the activity on pupil loans low. mitt is for reducing the style of loans and supplies you. and has stated doing away with numerous dept of government like practise. or how approximately on ethical grounds. the republicans are pushing rules national that make it greater stable which you would be able to vote. they are announcing its to end fraud yet we havent had any fraud. 0 cases in pennslyvania in thousands and thousands of votes solid. frankly this is beneficial to verify your state on the grounds which you won't be waiting to vote with the hot identity rules. retaining thousands and thousands of people from voting is incorrect and those are quite often democrats.
