8 bits if unsigned, 9 bits if signed
how many bits are needed to represent decimal values ranging from 0 to 12,500?
8
A bit represents two colors or states, typically represented as 0 and 1. In digital systems, these can correspond to different colors or signals, but fundamentally, a single bit can only convey two distinct values. When multiple bits are combined, they can represent a broader range of colors; for example, 8 bits can represent 256 different colors.
As many as required for the accuracy needed

To represent an eight-digit decimal number in Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD), each decimal digit is encoded using 4 bits. Since there are 8 digits in the number, the total number of bits required is 8 digits × 4 bits/digit = 32 bits. Therefore, 32 bits are needed to represent an eight-digit decimal number in BCD.

8 (assuming unsigned numbers - i.e., you don't reserve a bit for the sign).

45 in binary is 101101, so you need at least 6 bits to represent 45 characters.
Count them: 643(10)=1010000011(2)
18 in binary is 10010 Since 18 can't be written in term of 2 to the power x, the number of bits needed is 5. The answer is 5

10 bits would be required. 10 bits long (10 digits long) can represent up to 1024.
