The answer depends on the degree of precision. If only integers are to be represented, then 6 digits would be enough because 165 = 1,048,576 is bigger than a million.

What is the highest digit that can be used in each place value?

In the decimal number system, the highest valued digit is 9. The highest digit that ever appears in any one 'place' of a number is one less than the 'base' of the number. The numbers that everyone is most familiar with ... the numbers you see around you every day ... are numbers written in the 'decimal' system, using the 'base' of 10. So the highest digit in any one place is 9. 'Binary' numbers ... the form most used to represent numbers inside digital circuits and computers ... are constructed in base 2. So the highest digit in any one place is 1, and each of these numbers is just a string of 1's and zeros. Digits can be even higher than 9 in number systems that use other bases. For example, the hexadecimal system (often used in computer science to represent binary numbers) is base 16, so in that case the highest valued digit is "F" which has a value equivalent to 15 in a decimal representation. As an example, the number "FA" hexadecimal, has decimal value 15*16 + 10 = 250.

How many three-digit numbers are there in base 4?

If you allow leading zeros, then 4*4*4 = 64 If you don't allow leading zeros, then 3*4*4 = 48 (the numbers from decimal 16 to 63)


Why we use graphs?

To represent the data Graphs give a visual representation of progress (or regress) and they are much quicker and easier to grasp than a boring stack of numbers.

What is 1231 as a decimal?

The number 1231 as a decimal is simply 1231. This is because whole numbers are already in decimal form, with no fractional or decimal parts. Decimals are a way to represent numbers that are not whole, such as fractions or numbers with decimal points. In this case, 1231 is a whole number and is already in decimal form.


Is 1.21 is the smallest decimal?

No, there is no smallest decimal number. Decimal numbers represent real numbers and between any two real numbers there are infinitely many other real numbers. So, there are infinitely many decimal numbers between 0 and your 1.21: each one will be smaller than 1.21


Is 1.02 is the smallest decimal?

No, there is no smallest decimal number. Decimal numbers represent real numbers and between any two real numbers there are infinitely many other real numbers. So, there are infinitely many decimal numbers between 0 and your 1.02: each one will be smaller than 1.02


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).


How many bits are required in decimal numbers in range 0 to 999 using Straight binary code and BCD code?

10 bits would be required. 10 bits long (10 digits long) can represent up to 1024.


Are natural numbers are decimal numbers?

Almost all numbers that we use in daily life are decimal numbers. The place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. And that is all that is required of decimal numbers. A decimal point is not necessary.
