The word was made up by Dr. Werner Buchholz at IBM IN 1956 to represent a grouping of bits. At the time, he was working with 6 bit bytes. Today, a byte is 8 bits.

How many bytes in 16k memory?

A kilobyte (or a k) is 1024 bytes, so 16k is 16*1024 bytes or 16384 bytes.


If there are 1000 memory locations and word length is 2 bytes what is the storage capacity of the memory?

The storage capacity of the memory can be calculated by multiplying the number of memory locations by the word length. With 1000 memory locations and a word length of 2 bytes, the total storage capacity is 1000 locations × 2 bytes/location = 2000 bytes. This is equivalent to 2 kilobytes (KB), as 1 KB equals 1024 bytes.

How many 1288RAM memory chips are required to contruct RAM memory system of 2 bytes?

To construct a RAM memory system of 2 bytes using 1288 RAM memory chips, first, determine the capacity of a single 1288 chip. Each 1288 chip typically has 128 bits (or 16 bytes). Therefore, to achieve 2 bytes, you would need 2 bytes / 16 bytes per chip = 0.125 chips. Since you cannot use a fraction of a chip, you would need at least 1 chip to construct the RAM memory system of 2 bytes.
