16 and 32 Bit Basics

16 Bits

Note: 16 bits can represent numbers from 0 to 65,535 (2^16 - 1).

Decimal Binary
0 0000000000000000
1 0000000000000001
2 0000000000000010
3 0000000000000011
4 0000000000000100
5 0000000000000101
6 0000000000000110
7 0000000000000111
8 0000000000001000
9 0000000000001001
10 0000000000001010

32 Bits

Note: 32 bits can represent numbers from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1). Full binary representation for numbers larger than 16 bits is quite lengthy, so only the least significant 16 bits are shown for brevity.
