What is largest BCD encoded decimal value that can be represented in three bytes?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, the largest BCD encoded decimal value that can be represented in three bytes is 999,999. I mean, like, you could totally fit a lot of numbers in three bytes, but that's the biggest BCD number you can squeeze in there. So, yeah, if you ever need to store a really big decimal number in three bytes, just remember 999,999.

Answer 2

Well, honey, in three bytes, the largest BCD encoded decimal value you can represent is 999999. Each BCD digit takes up 4 bits, so in three bytes (24 bits), you can fit six BCD digits, which gives you 999999. So, there you have it, sugar!

Answer 3

Well, isn't that a happy little question! In a three-byte Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format, each byte can represent two decimal digits. So, the largest BCD encoded decimal value that can be represented in three bytes would be 999,999. Just imagine those digits dancing happily together on your canvas!

Answer 4

A BCD digit only uses the binary patterns that represent decimal numbers, ie 0000 - 1001; this requires 4 bits (1 nybble) so there can be 2 BCD digits to a byte. Therefore in 3 bytes there can be 3 × 2 = 6 BCD digits. The largest BCD digit is 1001 = 9.

Assuming non-signed, the maximum 3 byte BCD number is 999,999.

Answer 5

It depends what exact system is used - it seems there are several methods to encode numbers as BCD.For example, if "packed" BCD is used (two digits per byte), and one nibble (half-byte) is reserved for the sign, that allows a total of 5 decimal digits.

Answer 6

999
