m1: A hypothetical computer stores 8 bits of information. The first bit is used for the sign of the number, the second bit is used for the sign of the exponent, two bits are used for the magnitude of the exponent and four bits are used for magnitude of the mantissa. What is the largest number that can be represented?
Percentage

Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
