Final answer:

To represent 10 million, you need a total of 8 bytes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent 10 million, you need a total of 80 million bytes. Here's the breakdown:

  1. 10 million in scientific notation is written as 1 x 107.
  2. The number of bytes needed to represent each digit is 8. Therefore, you need 8 bytes to represent 1 digit.
  3. Since there is only 1 digit in the number 10 million, you need a total of 8 bytes.
  4. To calculate the number of bytes needed to represent 10 million, you multiply the number of digits by the number of bytes needed per digit: 1 x 8 = 8 bytes.
