Why can’t computers understand decimal number systems?
In: Technology
Because the electrical wires are defined with digital and binary signal ( on or off). If you would like to have a decimal signal, then there would be 10 voltage levels required. But in the past, there were also analogue computers available, especially for chemical processes available. But it was difficult to handle in a stable way: there is noise on the wires and other disturbances.
