0110. Without actually converting the numbers 84, 137, and 693 into binary, what can we predict about how the numbers will appear in binary?

84: We know that it will require 7-bits (since 2⁶ = 64 and 2⁷ = 128)

We know that the right-most bit will be ‘0’ (since the number is even)

Of course, we know that the left-most bit will be ‘1’

137: We know that it will require 8-bits (since 2⁷ = 128 and 2⁸ = 256)

We know that the right-most bit will be ‘1’ (since the number is odd)

Of course, we know that the left-most bit will be ‘1’

693: We know that it will require 10-bits (since 2⁹ = 512 and 2¹⁰ = 1024)

We know that the right-most bit will be ‘1’ (since the number is odd)

Of course, we know that the left-most bit will be ‘1’
