how can 1+1=10?

Question

how can this be?

Answer 1

These are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary arithmetic, and those who don't.

Answer 2

That's 1+1 in binary: 10 = 1 two and no ones.

Answer 3

i think it is an binary addition.
in this binary addition u have only 2 numbers, one & zero.
so u get by adding 1 to 1 you get 10. here 0 is the answer & one is the carry.
if u convert it into decimal number,

1*(2^1)+ 0*(2^0)

=> 2+ 0

=>2 (which is decimal equivalent of binary number 10)

Answer 4

binary system....
decimal 1=1
decimal 2=10
therefore in decimal 1+1 = 2
in binary 1+1 =10

Answer 5

if everything is represented in binary format

10 is not "ten" but... "one zero", or 1*2^1+0*2^0 = 2

Answer 6

In the Binary System. You would get that result

Answer 7

This is addition base 2:-

----8-----4-----2-----1

------------------------1
------------------------1

-----------------1-----0

From above 1 + 1 = 2 and this is shown by putting a 1 in the "two column" and a 0 in the "1 column"
