Computer Science
How many different memory addresses can be represented using a bit string of length 9?
In a microcomputer, the addresses of memory locations are binary numbers that identify each memory circuit where a byte is stored. The number of bits that make up an address depends on how many memory locations there are. Since the number of bits can be very large, the addresses are often specified in hex instead of binary.
If a microcomputer uses a 24-bit address, how many different memory locations are there?
What is the largest number that can be
