Techniques of data compression involve performing a separate compression operation on each set of corresponding bits of a sequence of bit strings in which each bit string represents a number having an upper bound. Advantageously, compressing the sets of corresponding bits produces an improved compression ratio over compressing each number in the sequence. Further, decompression is straightforward as long as sequence order is preserved and the upper bound of each number in the sequence is known.
