what does 10001 mean what is the next number of it.?

Question

i was playing a puzzle in that using the hints we have to change the url to open the next page (for eg bucahnan it was displayed in 15th page. he is the 15th president of usa & next president is lincoln so if we type lincoln in the url it opens 16th page.) now in 17th page it displays 10001 i want to know what it simplifies

Answer 1

Maybe this is a binary system number, which yields 17.

Answer 2

10001 is the binary representation of 17.

The nth digit starting backwards (from right) is multiplied by 2 ^ (n-1)(2 raised to (n-1)) and all results are added up.

So 10001 is 1*(2^0) + 0*(2^1) + 0*(2^2)+ 0*(2^3) + 1*(2^4)

which equals

1 + 0 + 0+ 0 + 16

= 17.

So what you are looking for is the binary representation of 18 which should be 10010.

Answer 3

I agree. It looks like binary.

1(2^0) + 0(2^1) + 0(2^2) + 0(2^3) + 1(2^4)

If it is a 1, the number is "turned on."

If it is a 0, the number is "turned off."

Here, we have 2^0 and 2^4 turned on.

2^0 + 2^4
1+ 16
17

For page 18, the code is 01001

0(2^0) + 1(2^1) + 0(2^2) + 0(2^3) + 1(2^4)

2^1 + 2^4
2+16
18

Answer 4

This could be a base 2 system as follows:-
16-- 8-- 4-- 2-- 1
______________
1----0---0---0---1 = 17 base ten
1----0---0---1---0 is next number (18 base ten)
