How many bits needed to store a number $55^{2002}$ ?

My answer is $2002\;\log_2(55)$; is it correct?

The number of bits required to represent an integer $n$ is $\lfloor\log_2 n\rfloor+1$, so $55^{2002}$ will require $\lfloor 2002\; \log_2 55\rfloor+1$ bits, which is $11,575$ bits.

Added: For example, the $4$-bit integers are $8$ through $15$, whose logs base $2$ are all in the interval $[3,4)$. We have $\lfloor\log_2 n\rfloor=k$ if and only if $k\le\log_2 n<k+1$ if and only if $2^k\le n<2^{k+1}$, and that’s exactly the range of integers requiring $k+1$ bits.

5 in binary is 101. Unlike the decimal number system where we use the digits 0 to 9 to represent a number, in a binary system, we use only 2 digits that are 0 and 1 (bits). We have used 3 bits to represent 5 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 5 to binary.

The square of the minimum number of bits required to represent 5 unique states is

How to Convert 5 in Binary?

Step 1: Divide 5 by 2. Use the integer quotient obtained in this step as the dividend for the next step. Repeat the process until the quotient becomes 0.

DividendRemainder
5/2 = 2 1
2/2 = 1 0
1/2 = 0 1

Step 2: Write the remainder from bottom to top i.e. in the reverse chronological order. This will give the binary equivalent of 5.

Therefore, the binary equivalent of decimal number 5 is 101.

FAQs on 5 in Binary

What is 5 in Binary?

5 in binary is 101. To find decimal to binary equivalent, divide 5 successively by 2 until the quotient becomes 0. The binary equivalent can be obtained by writing the remainder in each division step from the bottom to the top.

What is the Binary Equivalent of 5 + 27?

5 in binary number system is 101 and 27 is 11011. We can add the binary equivalent of 5 and 27 using binary addition rules [0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 10 note that 1 is a carry over to the next bit]. Therefore, (101)₂ + (11011)₂ = (100000)₂ which is nothing but 32.

Find the Value of 7 × 5 in Binary Form.

We know that 5 in binary is 101 and 7 is 111. Using the binary multiplication rules (0 × 0 = 0; 0 × 1 = 0 ; 1 × 0 = 0 and 1 × 1 = 1), we can multiply 101 × 111 = 100011 which is 35 in the decimal number system. [5 × 7 = 35]

How Many Bits Does 5 in Binary Have?

We can count the number of zeros and ones to see how many bits are used to represent 5 in binary i.e. 101. Therefore, we have used 3 bits to represent 5 in binary.

How to Convert 5 to Binary Equivalent?

We can divide 5 by 2 and continue the division till we get 0. Note down the remainder in each step.

  • 5 mod 2 = 1 - LSB (Least Significant Bit)
  • 2 mod 2 = 0
  • 1 mod 2 = 1 - MSB (Most Significant Bit)

Write the remainders from MSB to LSB. Therefore, the decimal number 5 in binary can be represented as 101.

How many unique values is 5 bits?

Binary number representation.

What is the minimum number of bits required to represent 9 unique States?

set each of those 9 bits to 1, to make the highest number possible that those 9 digits are able to represent. Therefore, the highest value is 1 1111 1111 which equals 511 in decimal. Conclude that, therefore, 9 digits of binary can represent 511 different values.

What is the maximum number that can be represented using 5 bits?

Bit number patterns.

What is the minimum number of bits needed to represent 6 things?

Answer and Explanation: Three bits can represent six things. Each bit stores a one or zero, representing two combinations.
