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.

How would you use massive in a sentence?
This question is a massive waste of time
What product makes up the largest percentage of trash in Texas?
Oh, dude, in Texas, the biggest trash culprit is actually organic waste, like food scraps and yard trimmings. I know, not as exciting as you were hoping for, right? But hey, gotta keep those compost bins busy and the landfill a little less stinky, am I right?
How many packs of laminate flooring will you need for a 13ft by 13ft room?
That depends on how many square feet are in each carton. Every model is different. Some will have 12 square feet, others 27 square feet, or anywhere in between. Your space, 13 x 13, is 169 square feet. (13 x 13 = 169). But you will need to add from 5-10% extra for waste material - so if I were you, I'd buy enough laminate to cover 186 square feet at least. You can keep any unused pieces in the carton for a later date, if repairs are ever needed. Store them in a dry, temperature-controlled space.

How many yards equals a ton of green waste?
I looked around and it seems like people give varied estimates (as you would expect - for example grass will be a LOT less than branches). But seems like it is somewhere in the range of 4-10 cubic yards = 1 ton of green waste.
