Le mode de représentation BCD (Binary Coded Decimal = Décimal Codé Binaire) est fondé sur un principe simple : on doit coder les dix chiffres décimaux de 0 à 9, ce qui exige l'utilisation de 4 bits. (Trois bits ne permettraient de coder que 2³ combinaisons. Quatre bits permettent de coder 16 combinaisons. On utilise donc quatre bits pour coder les dix chiffres du système décimal). 1, record 8, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%C3%A9cimal%20cod%C3%A9%20binaire
