A bit is the smallest memory unit to measure data stored in main memory and storage devices. A bit can have only one binary value out of 0 and 1. 2) Byte: It is the fundamental unit to measure data. It contains 8 bits or is equal to 8 bits. Thus a byte can represent 2*8 or 256 values. 3) Kilobyte: A kilobyte contains 1024 bytes. 4) Megabyte: A megabyte contains 1024 kilobytes. 5) Gigabyte: A gigabyte contains 1024 megabyte. 6) Terabyte: A terabyte contains 1024 gigabytes. |
