Least significant bit (LSB)

Least significant bit (LSB)

The bit that has the least value in a binary number or data byte. In written form, this would be the bit on the right. For example: Binary 1101 = Decimal 13 In this example, the rightmost binary digit, 1, is the least significant bit, here representing 1. If the LSB in this example were corrupt, the decimal would not be 13 but 12.
