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 resulting natural number by 1. -In a standard binary system, the first bit represents the +Given that $x$ represents a natural number, and $s$ is the digit we're adding. In a standard binary system, adding $s$ to the least significant position means that in the new number $x$ (before the addition) now represents the Nth appearance of an even (when $s = 0$ ), or odd (when )
