Decimal (more formally, binary coded decimal) values store numeric information as digits encoded using the four bit binary equivalents: 0 (0000) to 9 (1001). That means a single byte can hold values between 0 and 99. But simply using the same byte to hold a binary value will yield values between 0 and 255 (or –128 and +127).

How does decimal value waste memory space?
A decimal digit requires 4 bits of memory space to represent all possible values. So N decimal digits will require 4N bits to store in decimal format. On the other hand, if the same N decimal digits were stored as a binary number, they should require log2(10N) bits, that is, about 3.32N bits. So storing the decimal representation uses about 20% more memory. To put it another way, 4 bits is capable of holding one of 16 different values. By using it to store decimal digits, it is only being used to hold one of 10 different values.
