Decimal (base 10) is the way most human beings represent numbers. Decimal is sometimes abbreviated as dec. Decimal counting goes :

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 and so on.

Binary (base 2) is the natural way most digital circuits represent and manipulate numbers. Binary numbers are sometimes represented by preceding the value with ‘Ob’, as in Ob1O11. Binary is sometimes abbreviated as a bin. Binary counting goes as :

0,1,10,11,100,101,110,111,1000,1001,1010,1011,1100,1101,1110,1111,10000,10001 and so on.
