Line 23: ==Higher-density encoding== If a decimal digit requires four bits, then three decimal digits require 12 bits. However, since 2<sup>10</sup>>10<sup>3</sup>, if three decimal digits are encoded together then only 10 bits are needed. '''Two such encodings are''' ''Chen-Ho encoding'' and ''densely packed decimal''.
