The largest numeric value that can be represented in 3 bytes is 224

Explanation:

commonly, to represent a 999 number, 10 bits are used. But with 3 bytes, it can save or store integer with the range from 0 to 224-1 in the 24 bits. (3 * 8 bits = 24 bits). Then the binary notation is used for encoded numeric data in order to store in the computer storage device.
