Bit, byte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte

📏 Bit

• A bit (short for "binary digit") is the smallest unit of information in digital systems. A bit can have only two values: 0 or 1.

• Bit is the foundation for representing all information in computers and digital devices, using the binary system.

🧱 Byte

• A byte is a unit of information consisting of 8 bits. Modern computers and devices work with data in bytes.

• A byte typically represents one character or letter, for example, in ASCII encoding, each symbol occupies 1 byte.

📦 Megabyte (MB)

• A megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes or 1024 kilobytes. Megabytes are commonly used in computer systems to measure data size.

• For example, several high-quality images or MP3 files can occupy about 1 megabyte.

📈 Gigabyte (GB)

• A gigabyte is 1,073,741,824 bytes or 1024 megabytes. Gigabytes are widely used to measure data size in computers, smartphones, and other devices.

• A gigabyte is suitable for storing large files, such as videos or games.

💾 Terabyte (TB)

• A terabyte is 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1024 gigabytes. Terabytes are used to measure very large data volumes.

• Terabyte hard drives, server systems, or storage for large video files and databases are common uses for this unit.

Data Measurement Unit Comparison:

1. 1 bit = 0.125 byte

2. 1 byte = 8 bits

3. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes (KB) = 1,048,576 bytes

4. 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes (MB) = 1,073,741,824 bytes

5. 1 terabyte (TB) = 1024 gigabytes (GB) = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
