No, computers have been built with as few as 1 bit in a word to 72 bits in a word and architectures have been proposed with as many as 256 bits in a word.

What is meant by data precision in computer?

precision is the total number of bits or digits in the representation of a number.accuracy is the number of correct bits or digits in a number.Given a certain representation on a computer, all numbers stored in that representation will have the same precision; however the accuracy of different numbers will vary, depending on the source and on the calculations done on them.


Whose transmission rate is faster?

The one who transmits more data bits in the same length of time, or the same number of data bits in less time, has the faster transmission rate.


Does a number stored as an integer take up less space in the computer's memory than a floating points number?

It depends on the particular implementation's representation of integer and floating point number. The IEEE 754-2008 standard provides four basic resolutions, 16 bits (not common), 32 bit, 64 bits, and 128 bits (also not common). At the same time, integers can be 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits (in 64 bit platforms and some libraries on 32 bit platforms) and 128 bits (not common). In general, if you want to keep resolution down to the units digit, you can store a larger number in an integer than you can in a floating point, due to overhead in the exponent, but, at the same time, due to the scalability of floating point numbers, you can store larger numbers in floating point numbers if you are willing to lose resolution on the low-order end.


Does every atom of the same element have the same same atomic number?

yes


Are the number of electrons different from every atom of every element?

Each element has a different number of electrons. All atoms of that element have the same number of electrons. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.


Does atom of the same element have the same number of proton?

Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.


What two parts of a atom have the same number in each element?

For every element, the number of protons, electrons, and atomic number are the same.


What is the same for every element in the same period?

The number of electrons in its valence shell

How do subnet masks indentify that a network has been subnetted?

If (for example) the first 20 bits of the subnet masks are "1", then any IP address that shares the same 20 bits with the IP address of my computer is in the same subnet.Note that a subnet only indicates the size of the current subnet, the subnet in which your computer (for example) is located. Other subnets of a network may have different sizes; this can't be ascertained just by looking at you IP address and subnet. Nor is it relevant for your computer: The computer only has to know that anything outside the subnet has to be sent first to the default gateway - the server or router that connects your subnet to the remainder of the net.If (for example) the first 20 bits of the subnet masks are "1", then any IP address that shares the same 20 bits with the IP address of my computer is in the same subnet.Note that a subnet only indicates the size of the current subnet, the subnet in which your computer (for example) is located.

How big are the bits in austrilia?

If you are talking about computer bits, they are the same size as everywhere else in the world. One unit, either one (1) or zero (0). If you are talking about biscuit pieces, well some of them are quite big. But they all seem to fit in your mouth.
