Question

How many different numbers can be obtained using five binary bits?

Answer 1

A number composed by 5 digits: in decimal each digit can be 0,1..9 so a 5 digit number can express numbers from 0 to 99999 and they are 10 5 = 100 , 000 . A 5 bit number is something similar but with bits, i.e. binary digits.

Hope this helps ;)
