Yes, it can store any number from 0 to 255. It is also capable of storing numbers down to -127. There are 8 bits in a byte, each of which can store 0 or 1. They represent powers of 2. So 8 bits could be 11111111, which is a binary number and can be thought of as representing a number this way:

One 128.
One 64.
One 32.
One 16.
One 8.
One 4.
One 2.
One 1.

If you add those up you get 255.

What is the largest decimal number that can be stored ising 8 bits or 1 byte?

255 is the largest decimal number. 1 byte (8 bits) can store 256 *values* (0-255).

Largest number stored as a byte?

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


What decimal numbers can 1 byte represent?

byte has 8 bits all bits at 0 = zero all bits at 1 = 255


What is the numerical value for 1 byte?

1 byte = 8 bits from 00000000 (00) to 11111111 (FF) = 0 to 255 or 256 values


Why does ascii go 0-255?

1 byte is made up of 8 bits.In Binary 8 bits have a value of 0-255, therefore any character in ASCII will only take up a physical space of 1 byte.


What is the correct binary number for 255?

11111111 (base 2, also called biinary) represents 255. This is all 8 bits of a byte have a value of 1. A byte can represent 256 different values (0 to 255)


What is the largest decimal number that can be stored using 8 bits?

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.
