Each bit can be on or off giving 2 possible states, and for each bit the other bits can be in either state; so there are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 26 = 64 possible numbers (which can either represent 0 to 63 or -32 to +31 using signed numbers).
7 bits can show all 128 possible arrangements of 'yes' and 'no'. 6 bits can show only 64 possibilities.
A binary number containing eight bits is referred to as one "Byte". A binary number containing four bits is referred to as one "Nibble".

The largest possible value using 8 bits in binary is actually quite simple. Binary is a numerical system that only uses 2 numbers (1 and 0) to determine value. Our system is decimal. (0-9) Now, a 'bit' is one number from the binary system. It can either be 1 or 0. So, 8 bits means using 8 digits in binary. 1 is greater than 0, so the largest value is 11111111. (8 'one's)
To achieve the answer to what the decimal equivalent of the largest binary number with five places (or bits) is, work this equation: The formula is 2_ -1 where n is the number of bits. That will get you where you need to be.
the highest number you can count up to using 10 bits is 1029 using binary
7 bits can show all 128 possible arrangements of 'yes' and 'no'. 6 bits can show only 64 possibilities.
31 - it's binary equivalent is 11111
255 as a decimal number (also known as a base 10 number) = 11111111 in binary (also known as a base 2 number). In binary, each digit is known as a bit, and 8 bits are known as 1 byte. 255 is the largest (positive) number you can make in binary using only 8 bits (1 byte).
the largest binary number is 1.84467440737e19. to figure this out you put 2 to the exponent of the certain amount of bits. Eg: 2^64 equals the binary number
A bit is a single digit of a binary number.
A binary number containing eight bits is referred to as one "Byte". A binary number containing four bits is referred to as one "Nibble".
a general rule for binary is that the number of alternatives = 2 raised to the # of bits power. Two to the seventh power is 128
4 bits
