here's how decimal versus binary works:
if your decimal would be 32 it is:
Code:
binary(scale): 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024
binary: 0 0 0 0 0 1
so when your decimal is 52
your binary is:
Code:
binary(scale): 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024
binary: 0 0 1 0 1 1
4 + 16 = 20 + 32 = 52.
Some relative information

just finished this study last year.
