How many chips are required of 128 × 8 RAM to make 2048 byte memory?

Each 128 × 8 RAM chip provides a storage capacity of 128 bytes since the data width is 8 bits. To achieve a total memory size of 2048 bytes, one must divide the target capacity by the individual chip capacity. This calculation results in 2048 divided by 128, which equals exactly 16 chips required.
