Explain the following: a bit, octet, hexadecimal, and decimal value

Solutions

Expert Solution

A bit is the smallest unit of data in computer comprising a single value of either 0 or 1 which is also called binary numbers having base 2.

Octet - An octet is a unit of data in computer which consists of 8 bits, it is also called a byte as a byte contains 8 bits.The binary value of all eight bits set 11111111 is 255 in decimal and 00000000 is 0 in decimal so the range of octal numbers is from 0 to 255. These are also called base 8 numbers.

Decimal: Decimal is also a unit of data in which the data is represented in base 10, which contains numbers from 0 to 9 using place value and decimal point to separate whole numbers from decimal fractions.

Hexadecimal numbers: A hexadecimal is also a unit of data which is also called base 16 or hex, which is also a representation of four binary bits and contains 16 numbers 0-15 where 0-9 are represented as it is, 10 is represented as A and so on till 15 which is represented as F in hex.
