Understanding Powers of Two

Powers of two are numbers of the form 2n, where n is a non-negative integer. They are fundamental in computing because binary systems represent all numbers using powers of two. For example:

  • 20 = 1
  • 21 = 2
  • 22 = 4
  • 23 = 8
  • ...
  • 2n = 2 × 2 × ... × 2 (n times)

Applications

Powers of two are used in many areas:

  • Memory sizes (1 KB = 1024 bytes = 210 bytes)
  • Computer graphics ( resolutions like 720p = 1280×720 = 211×29 pixels)
  • Binary counting systems
  • Algorithm analysis and complexity
