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 number representation has the sign as the high order bit and the remaining bits represent the absolute value of the numeric value?
signed magnitude
What is the largest decimal number that a two byte integer can represent?
There are 8 bits in a byte, so a two byte integer would be 16 bits. The largest 16 bit integer possible would be 11111111111111112, which is 65535 in base 10.
What would the largest value in 8 bits be in binary?
The largest possible value using 8 bits in binary is actually quite simple. Binary is a numerical system that only uses 2 numbers (1 and 0) to determine value. Our system is decimal. (0-9) Now, a 'bit' is one number from the binary system. It can either be 1 or 0. So, 8 bits means using 8 digits in binary. 1 is greater than 0, so the largest value is 11111111. (8 'one's)
What is the largest decimal number that can be stored using 8 bits?
11111111; 255 or 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128=255 Answer 255 There are 8 bits in a byte when all are set to zero (turned off) then the value is 0. When all of the bits in a byte are set to 1 (turned on) you get the largest value that a byte holds which is 255.
