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)
