A computer has 38 address lines. How many locations in Mega bytes can it address?

The computer can address 34359,738368 megabytes

Explanation:

Given

Address Lines (n) = 38

Required

Determine the number of location it can address

Number of addressable locations (N) in bits is calculated as thus

Substitute 38 for n

Next; is to convert from bits to megabytes

Start by converting to bytes

1 bit = 0.125 bytes;

So;

Convert from byte to megabyte

So;

Hence, the computer can address 34359,738368 megabytes
