In a 16 bit number there must be from zero to 16 '1'. If a bit does not have value zero then it has a value of 1. Nothing else can be represented by a bit.
Example 0000 is a 4 bit number. Each bit is a zero. 1010 is also a four bit number.
0000111100001111 is a 16 bit number.
1100110011000001 is also a 16 bit number.
16 (decimal) = 10000 (binary).
A 4-bit binary word is a sequence of four binary digits (bits), where each bit can be either 0 or 1. This allows for a total of 16 possible combinations, ranging from 0000 to 1111 in binary, which corresponds to the decimal values 0 to 15. 4-bit binary words are often used in digital electronics and computer systems to represent small numbers or simple data.
The smallest number that can be represented by a 16-bit unsigned binary number is 0. In a 16-bit unsigned binary system, all bits can be set to 0, which corresponds to the decimal value of 0. The range of values for a 16-bit unsigned binary number is from 0 to 65,535.
16 Mb in binary notation can be refered to as 16*1024 bits. A bit is represented with a lower case "b".
The weight of the Most Significant Bit (MSB) in a 5-bit binary number is 16. In binary representation, each bit position corresponds to a power of 2, starting from the right with 2^0. Therefore, the MSB, which is the leftmost bit in a 5-bit number, represents 2^4 or 16 in decimal.
A 16-bit binary number
40000(10) = 9C40(16) = 1001110001000000(2)
56 = 32 + 16 + 8 so binary 0011 1000
In a 16-bit binary number, the Most Significant Bit (MSB) is the leftmost bit, which represents the highest value in the binary system. For a 16-bit number, the MSB has a weight of 2^15, which equals 32,768. This means that if the MSB is set to 1, it contributes 32,768 to the overall value of the number.
hexadecimal can express 16 bit binary in 4 place form, not 16.
The most common binary word length for audio is 16-bit. Bit depths of 20- and 24-bit resolution are also commonly used.
