In medieval Latin, algorismus simply meant the decimal number system.

在中世纪拉丁语中，agorismus 只是指十进制数字系统。

This works exactly the same way as the decimal numbers that we’re all familiar with.

这与我们都熟悉的十进制数字的工作方式完全相同。

What decimal number does binary number 110010 represent, from left to right?

什么十进制数是二进制数 110010代表，从左到右？

With decimal numbers there are " only" 10 possible values a single digit can be; 0 through 9, and to get numbers larger than 9 we just start adding more digits to the front.

对于十进制数， 一个数字“只有” 10 个可能的值； 0 到 9，要获得大于 9 的数字， 我们只需开始在前面添加更多数字。

If we look at the raw values of a T-X-T file in storage, it would look something like this: We can view this as decimal numbers instead of binary, but that still doesn't help us read the text.

如果我们查看存储中 T-X-T 文件的原始值，它看起来像这样：我们可以将其视为十进制数字而不是二进制， 但这仍然无助于我们阅读文本。
