Want this question answered?
If the byte represents a signed number, values commonly go from minus 128 to plus 127. If the byte represents an unsigned number, values commonly go from 0 to 255.
There are 8 bits in a byte, so a two byte integer would be 16 bits. The largest 16 bit integer possible would be 11111111111111112, which is 65535 in base 10.
The largest number which can be stored in an 8 bit memory byte is 255 . The largest prime number below 255 is 251.
11111111; 255 or 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128=255 Answer 255 There are 8 bits in a byte when all are set to zero (turned off) then the value is 0. When all of the bits in a byte are set to 1 (turned on) you get the largest value that a byte holds which is 255.
So far the largest one I know is the yottabyte
256
255 is the largest decimal number. 1 byte (8 bits) can store 256 *values* (0-255).
Of 10 bytes simply stored in the memory? YAWN...
1 byte
Byte.

The biggest number that can be represented in one byte is 11111111. Binary numbers have the ability to added together in a fashion similar to decimal numbers.
It isn't. The largest unsigned number that can be stored in one byte (8 bits) is 2^8 - 1 = 255.
