    This document introduces binary numbers and how they work. It explains that in binary, each place can only have a value of 0 or 1, unlike base 10 numbers which use 0-9. It also explains that 4 binary digits make up a "nybble" and can represent numbers from 0 to 15. Finally, it provides side-by-side comparisons of counting in base 2 binary compared to base 10 decimal.
