Number storage 
My device displays an available storage value, with the possible value size of 0-6400(MB). This is under the assumption my device has the capability of displaying the available storage, even if there is no storage left, also that the SDHC storage technology is limited to 64gb(specifically) for my device. This number is displayed when navigating through the system settings. It is likely that this number is stored in the binary format within my device, because of its vast range of possible values (6401); this would need 13 bits to store the identification of the four digits, this would use up to 2bytes of storage in the devices random access memory; because that is the maximum amount of bytes that the number would ever need. It is likely that my device only temporarily stores the value, because it would have to be recalculated every time its viewed. An example of the binary representation could be 1100100000000 for 6400.
