Key Points

  • In binary numbers, each bit has a weight twice that of the previous bit. The least significant bit has a weight of 1, then next 2 and so on.
  • The LSB represents a value of 1 and then the successive bits has values of the order 2n-1.
  • LSB: In a binary number, the bit furthest to the right is called the least significant bit (LSB).

  • MSB: In a binary number, the bit furthest to the left is called the most significant bit (MSB).

  • The MSB in a 10-bit binary number represents a value/weight of 512 decimals (210-1)
