No.


What is 0 and 1 binary data?

0 and 1 are two integers. They may represent binary digits or binary data but they need not.

yes


How does BCD differ from the straight binary number system?

To consider the difference between straight binary and BCD, the binary numbers need to be split up into 4 binary digits (bits) starting from the units. In 4 bits there are 16 possible values from 0000 to 1111 (0 to 15). In straight binary all of these possible combinations are used, thus: 4 bits can represent the decimal numbers 0-15 8 bits can represent the decimal numbers 0-255 12 bits can represent the decimal numbers 0-4095 16 bits can represent the decimal numbers 0-65535 etc In arithmetic, all combinations of bits are used, thus: 0000 1001 + 0001 = 0000 1010 In BCD or Binary Coded Decimal, only the representations of the decimal numbers 0-9 are used (that is 0000 to 1001 in binary), and the 4-bits (nybbles) are read as decimal digits, thus: 4 bits can represent the decimal digits 0-9 8 bits can represent the decimal digits 0-99 12 bits can represent the decimal digits 0-999 16 bits can represent the decimal digits 0-9999 In arithmetic, only the representations of decimal numbers are used, thus: 0000 1001 + 0001 = 0001 0000 When BCD is used each half of a byte is read directly as a decimal digit. BCD is obviously inefficient as storage (for large numbers) as each nybble is only holding 3/8 of the possible numbers, however, it is sometimes easier and quicker to work with decimal digits (for example when there is lots of display of counting numbers to do there is less binary to decimal conversion needing to be done).

Why is binary number system used in digital electronics?

Binary is simpler than decimal. And it is easy to represent binary numbers with signals, since only two states are required. For example, a low voltage state might represent a zero, and a high voltage state might represent a one. Or vice versa.

How many bits does it take to represent the number 457?

When you convert this decimal number to the binary format, we have 111001001 that has 9 digits so 9bits is required to represent it in normal case. To convert decimals to binary visit http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~gurwitz/core5/nav2tool.html
