Detailed explanation-1: -Numbers are stored on the computer in binary form. In other words, information is encoded as a sequence of 1’s and 0’s. On most computers, the memory is organized into 8-bit bytes. This means each 8-bit byte stored in memory will have a separate address.
Detailed explanation-2: -1 Integers. Integers are commonly stored using a word of memory, which is 4 bytes or 32 bits, so integers from 0 up to 4, 294, 967, 295 (232-1) can be stored.
Detailed explanation-3: -The binary system is the primary language of computing systems. Inside these systems, a binary number consists of a series of eight bits. This series is known as a byte. In the binary schema, the position of each digit determines its decimal value.
Detailed explanation-4: -Computers do this representation using a binary coding system. Binary and Switches. Binary is a mathematical number system: a way of counting. We have all learned to count using ten digits: 0-9.
