Tell what is msd and lsd in this number?

MSB is nothing but most significant bit.
EX: 11000.
'1' is the msb.
'0' is the lsb.

'1' is the msb.
'0' is the lsb.

We know that MSB is the most significant bit, it holds the leftmost bit value and it most weight.

This is because as already been said MSB is the most significant bit, so it holds the most weight and moreover for writing any bit we move from LSB to MSB.

In digital the weight-age of a bit is given by.
2^n i.e. if we start with left most digit it has highest weight.
32 16 8 4 2 1. Now we assume a number in binary is 11011.
So the MSB in this is left most 1 with weight 16 and LSB is right most bit with weight 1.

MSD means Most significant digit so its used to describe weight of digits.

MSD means Most Significant Digit like a Most Significant Bit..

Ya it's because it is most significant digit (MSD) , so as it is use for weighting bits length.
