Did we solve your problem today?

Powers of 2 are everywhere in computing — bytes, memory sizes and binary place values.

The math behind it

2ⁿ doubles for each step in n. Negative exponents give fractions (2⁻¹ = 0.5).

2¹⁰ = 1024.

Why do powers of 2 matter in computing?

Binary uses base 2, so memory and addressing are organised in powers of 2.
