How Many Memory Chips and What Decoder is Needed for a 256k x 8 Setup?

[mathrocks]

Computer engineering question--digital logic..

In my computer engineering class I was asked to find "How many memory chips are available and how many I need for a 256k x 8 and also what kind of decoder is needed" This is more of a digital logic question but there isn't another section on this forum for those types of questions.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if you know how to do it please explain how you got it...

this is prolly a bit late and prolly u might have even solved this,
and if not,
are the memory chips size given?
if yes,
then for the question u need to,
divide 256k x 8 by the memory chip size
decoder will depend on the "number of memory chip size" we get.
