Wikipedia
In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal ( BCD ) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight, although other sizes ( such as six bits ) have been used historically.
Special bit patterns are sometimes used for a sign or for other indications ( e. g., error or overflow ).
