It is common for digital systems to deal with 8 bits at a time (this is referred to as a byte). Translating between decimal and binary is not always obvious, because 10 is not a power of 2. Digital systems use bits which have two states, 0 and 1, so they are better represented in base 2 (binary). We are used to seeing numbers in base 10 (decimal). A bit of explanation is in order if you aren’t already familiar with digital representations.
