A positional system for the representation of numbers in base 2 (cf. Numbers, representations of). In such a system the arithmetic operations can be very simply executed. For instance, the usual addition and multiplication with single-valued numbers are reduced in the system to: $1+1=10$; $1\cdot1=1$.
Comments
The term binary arithmetic is also used.
