Binary representation is the representation of data in a system that uses only two states or conditions, typically represented as 0 and 1. This is the most common way that computers store and process information. Ternary and trinary systems use three states or conditions, and bipolar systems use both positive and negative states, but these are not as commonly used in computer systems.
