Assuming you mean using each digit only once the greatest decimal would be 98765. If multiple uses of the digits is allowed there is no greatest decimal number.

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.


Using only the digits 4 5 7 8 find the greatest product and the least product possible where one factor is a 3digit number?

4 x 578 = 2312 8 x 754 = 6032


How can you find the repeating digits of a decimal when the calculator display is not long enough to show the repeating digits?

You can try to subtract the first few digits that are displayed from the answer, but note that calculators work to a limited precision so you may not be able to get much more than 10 to 12 digits this way and if the decimal has more than 12 digits you will not be able to find all the digits. The only solution is to do the long division (by hand, using the digits displayed by the calculator, but when you run out of digits in the calculator, you can start a new division using the remainder so far to continue for the next few digits). Alternatively, find a calculator which works to more precision.
