What happens to a binary number n if you compute n mod 4?
The remainder of the division, by 4, is a number between 0 and 3. In the case of binary, this would maintain the last two bits of the original number.
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 called if the number of bits is not an odd number for odd parity or an even number for even parity?
That's called a "parity violation", which indicates a bit error in the byte. That's the whole purpose of parity ... detecting bit errors, although in order to do it, you have to significantly increase the data load by adding an extra bit to every 7 or 8 bits in the end-user's business traffic.
Is the number of bits in a word the same in every computer?
No, computers have been built with as few as 1 bit in a word to 72 bits in a word and architectures have been proposed with as many as 256 bits in a word.
How many bits is bytes?
There are 8 bits in every byte.
How many bits in 3 bytes?
1 byte=8 bits SO, 3byts=24 bits
In asynchronous time division multiplexing which bits increase the processing overhead of a system?
The bits associated with synchronization and framing increase the processing overhead in asynchronous time division multiplexing. These bits are necessary for maintaining the timing and alignment of data streams from multiple sources within the system.
What are the number of bits in a byte?
1 byte = 8 bits.
What happens when a rock is broken into small bits?
it breaks
What happens when a bat bits you?
The bat will usually live.
The number of bits processed in a single instruction is known as?
8 Bits
What happens to a binary number n if you compute n mod 4?
The remainder of the division, by 4, is a number between 0 and 3. In the case of binary, this would maintain the last two bits of the original number.
How do you compute bits of a sentence?
You count every character and all the spaces, then multiply it by 8. Each character and space is represented in 8 binary digits which are called bits BInary digiTS. 8 bits make a byte and 1 byte represents a single character or space. So, when you count the characters and spaces in a sentence, you will know the number of bytes the sentence has. So, multiply that number by 8 and you will know how many bits.
If a binary number needs to represent 16 different values how long must the number be in bits?
4 bits
