-Computers will always convert the numbers from any number system into binary for the purposes of consistent computation, and convert them back into their original number system once finished with these computations. For example, say someone wanted perform the computation 3 + 2 in the decimal number system. A computer would convert these values into the binary values of 000011 and 000010, respectively, compute the binary value 000101 from these values, and convert this value back into the decimal value of 5.

 When you say a binary number, pronounce each digit (example, the binary number "101" is spoken as "one zero one", or sometimes "one-oh-one"). This way people don't get confused with the decimal number.
