Since 8 bits = 1 byte, the maximum value it could have can be found when all 8 bits are "turned on" or are 1's.
1111 1111 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 255
A single byte (8 bits) can store the values 0-255
In a computer, everything is stored in ones and zeros. A single one or zero is called a bit, and a group of 8 bits is called a byte. One byte can be represented as 8 binary numerals, like this: 10011101 Which equals the number 157. It can also be represented in hexadecimal, like this: 9D One byte can store any number between 0 and 255 (00 and FF in hex). In a computer, every text character has a specific number that represents that letter. So, when it sees a particular hex number, it translates that into the text and displays it. This is an overly simplified description. To learn more, read up on bits, bytes, ascii codes and data storage protocols.
Storage cost per byte is very small number in cents. For example 1GB RAM cost around $AU20 today. The cost per byte would 20/1,073,741,824. 1GB=1,073,741,824bytes
Yotto Byte
It is the way computers store irrational numbers. e.g. in a 4-byte binary float, which contains 32 digits of 0 and 1. the first digit says whether the number stored is positive or negative. The next 8 digits store the value of the power of 10 when the number is in scientific notation, and the remaining 23 digits store the actual digits of the number.
Basically, these are the memory units used to represent the memory of the computing devices. Bit Byte (Contains 8 bits) Kilo-byte (Contains 1024 bytes) Mega-Byte (Contains 1024 kilo-bytes) Giga-Byte (Contains 1024 Mega-bytes) Tera-Byte (Contains 1024 Giga-bytes) and so on....
The largest number which can be stored in an 8 bit memory byte is 255. The largest prime number below 255 is 251.
The largest number which can be stored in an 8 bit memory byte is 255 .The largest prime number below 255 is 251.
The largest number which can be stored in an 8 bit memory byte is 255 . The largest prime number below 255 is 251.
It isn't. The largest unsigned number that can be stored in one byte (8 bits) is 2^8 - 1 = 255.
255 is the largest decimal number. 1 byte (8 bits) can store 256 *values* (0-255).
It is not possible. A Byte is 8 bits, the largest possible 8 bit number is '11111111' which is only 255 (in normal decimal numbers).
