Calculate the amount of video memory required to store a graphic image that occupies the entire monitor

Calculate the amount of video memory required to store a graphic image that occupies the entire monitor screen with a resolution of 720 × 360 and a palette of 256 colors.

To solve this problem, we use the formula:
I (memory) = I * X * Y;

where I – informational amount of memory in bits;

X is the number of points shown vertically;

Y – the number of dots displayed horizontally.

Since 256 colors are encoded with 8 bits, or rather:

N = 32 ^ 8 = 8 bits.

Now let’s calculate the amount of video memory:
I = 8 * 720 * 360 = 2073600.

Answer: 2 073 600.
