Given a natural number represented in binary, eg `1010`, there are two different ways to *add information to that number*: 1. We can add a digit to the most significant position. As an example, adding a `1` to the above value would result in `11010`. Doing this means that the added digit stores information about *large ranges*. In the provided example, this means that setting that digit changes the value by 16. -2. We can add a digit to the least significant position. As an example, adding a `1` to the above value would result in `10101`. Changing the added digit will only change the value by 16. +2. We can add a digit to the least significant position. As an example, adding a `1` to the above value would result in `10101`. Changing the added digit will only change the resulting natural number by 1.
