In today's episode, we break down how calculators really work by following the exact steps they use to solve math problems. We explore base 10 (the way humans normally write numbers), base 2 (the system calculators use inside), and why binary patterns of 0s and 1s make it easier for electricity to represent numbers. Then, we solve a math problem together just like a calculator would!
