What is the smallest number you can make with 12 bits?
/div>
It is 99999 which is one less than 10^5, notice that 5 is the number of digits. Also works for binary. You have ten binary digits so in binary you have which is one less than
-512 to 511
The signed range of integer values that can be stored in 16 bits is −32,768 (−1 × 215) through 32,767 (215 − 1); the unsigned range is 0 through 65,535 (216 − 1). Since 216 is 65,536, a processor with 16-bit memory addresses can directly access 64 KB (65,536 bytes) of byte-addressable memory.
What range of signed decimal values can be represented in 12 bits?
The smallest significand is 1000000. Therefore, the 12 bit number I got was 0
