normalize a range of numbers


Take logarithm, process the data, and finally take antilog.

Alternatively you can convert the numbers in binary system and later convert them to decimal system.
 

how to normalize a set of numbers

Scaling from 0-255 is the same as scaling from 0-1, then multiplying by 255.
jiveshgovil has hit on something ...
If the data are to be displayed (presuming 0-255 might be pixel values or such), you might want to scale a function of the data rather than the data themselves, in order to spread the values more uniformly (as in contrast enhancement and such).
