What is the largest positive value that you can represent with 16 bits?
216 -1
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.
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.
