I assume you mean a binary representation of a number.
The "least significant bit" (usually the one to the far right but in some languages it has another placement) is "ones"
the next most significant bit are the twos
The third most significant bit are the fours
etc.
So if your number is 37
there is one 32 (the sixth most significant bit)
no 16's (the fifth most significant bit)
no 8's (the fourth most significant bit)
one 4 (the third most significant bit)
no 2's (the second most significant bit)
one 1 (the least most significant bit)
if we are to fill an 8 bit "word " we get:
0010 0101

How many bits will it take to store a 7-digit telephone number in BCD?
28-bits
What refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time?
As quoted from Google Books, "Word size refers to the number of bits that a microprocessor can manipulate at one time."
How many decimal numbers can be represented by 4-bits?
There are 16 decimal numbers that can be represented by 4-bits.
What is the effect of increasing the number of bytes allocated to the mantissa?
The mantissa holds the bits which represent the number, increasing the number of bytes for the mantissa increases the number of bits for the mantissa and so increases the size of the number which can be accurately held, ie it increases the accuracy of the stored number.
What is the largest positive signed decimal number that can be represented by 8-bits?
If the 8 bits represent a signed number, the range is usually -128 to +127. This is -27 to 27-1.
What are the number of bits in a byte?
1 byte = 8 bits.
The number of bits processed in a single instruction is known as?
8 Bits
What is the difference between comet and meteors?
Comets are flying bits of rock that don't enter the earth's atmosphere and meteors are flying bits of iron stone or stony iron. Also meteors do enter the earth's atmosphere.
If a binary number needs to represent 16 different values how long must the number be in bits?
4 bits
What is the minimum number of bits required to represent the decimal 1000?
9 bits
The largest number of bits the processor can process in one operation?
The largest number of bits a CPU can process is word size. A CPU's Word Size is the largest number of bits the CPU can process in one operation.
What is the minimum number of bits would you need to represent 9 different values?
4.1 bit for 2,2 bits for 4,3 bits for 8,4 bits for 16.
What is the minimum number of redundant bits that error-correcting code requires for data units that are 5 bits long?
4 bits
How many bits will it take to store a 7-digit telephone number in BCD?
28-bits
What is the minimum number of bits required to represent the following decimal number 101000?
17 bits would allow a value up to 131071.
What is the number that you can count up to using 10 bits?
the highest number you can count up to using 10 bits is 1029 using binary
What is the number of bits in IPv4c addressing with example?
There are 4 numbers, such as 192.168.1.254 Each number can have a value 0-255, which is 8 bits (00 - FF hex). 8x4 = 32. I do not know if they string all the 32 bits together, or if there are separator bits, though.
