For the total 256 random binary digits, we can divide by 11 to get the number of words in the seed. But the answer to 256 divided by 11 is not a whole number; it’s 23.27. We can’t have 23.27 words in ...

But who certifies the random numbers, and what can we do with them ... If I turn the last sentence of the previous paragraph into binary, the resulting string is only 1,384 bits long.

In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.
