Yes they both have the same context. They are two different entries as 
they apply to the illustration part of two different pages of the 
introduction. I'm not sure if/how we can reuse the same string without 
complicated refactoring of the introduction content.

In the first page where it appears, there is already the sentence 
"Binary system uses these numbers very efficiently, allowing to count 
from 0 to 255 with 8 bits only", so I thought it would be redundant to 
add again "counting from.." on the graphic part below. The graphic part 
is meant to simply illustrate the text above, not to repeat it.

In your case, if you really need to refer to the 8 bits image at the 
beginning of the sentence, you can adapt to something like "with the 8 
bits below you can count from 0 to 255", but for other languages it is 
not necessarily needed.
