BCD stands for Binary Coded Decimal.

BCD is the storage of numbers in which each decimal digit is converted into a binary number and stored in a single 8-bit byte.

• BCD uses more storage for numbers than binary encoding.
• The Binary Coded Decimal method codes each decimal digit in binary and stores it in its own byte. 
• This encoding can be done in 4-bit or 8-bit (usually 4-bit is preferred).
• It is a fast and efficient system that converts decimal numbers to binary numbers as compared to the existing binary system.
• These are commonly used in digital displays where the manipulation of data is a lot of work.
