A "bit" is a single switch in the computer, and represents the smallest unit of data. Each bit has two states, on and off, the two states of the bit are where we get the term binary ("bi" meaning two). On is written as 1 and off is written as 0.

Each bit that is part of a number has a specific value with the lowest value(1) being on the far right. As you move left the value of the bit doubles. When calculating binary numbers you add up the value of each bit that is on (remember on is represented by the number 1).
