Can anyone explain why '>>2' shift means 'divided by 4' in C codes?

Question

I know and understand the result.

For example:

 7 (decimal) = 00000111 (binary) 


and 7 >> 2 = 00000001 (binary) 

        

Answer 1

Its inherent in the binary number system used in computer.

a similar logic is --- left shifting 'n' times means multiplying by 2^n.
