Is the largest 16 bit positive number?
Unsigned: 216-1. Signed: 215-1.
What is the largest hexadecimal number that can be held in one word?
The answer depends on the number of binary digits (BITS) in the word. The largest 8-BIT hexadecimal word will be 16^8 -1 = 4,294,967,295.Nowadays, 32 and 64 bit words are common: a 64 bit word could hold a number greater than 1.1*10^77 while a 128 bit word (not yet in common use) would exceed 1.3*10^154 or a Googol^1.5
What are two numbers whose GCF is 16 and explain why?
16 and 32 have a GCF of 16 because 16 is the largest positive integer that divides evenly into both of those numbers with no remainder.
Is 16 a composite number or a prime number?
16 is a composite number because it has at least one positive factor other than one or itself.
How many colors are available with a 16-bit color depth?
For a digital photo, bit depth is the number of colors that can be shown in the image. Because the bits can only indicate one of 2 possible states (0 or 1), the number of colors can only be powers of 2. Some examples of bit depths (and the calculation of the decimal number for those of you who know exponents) for image files are: 2-bit (2^2 = 4 colors), 4-bit (2^4=16 colors), 8-bit (2^8=256 colors), 16-bit (2^16=65,536 colors), and 24-bit (2^24=16,777,216 colors).
