Bit= a single 0 or 1,
Byte= 8 bits (any combination of 8 0's or 1's)
Kilobyte (KB)= 1024 bytes
Megabytes (MB)= 1024 KB
Gigabyte (GB)= 1024 MB
Terabyte (TB)= 1024 GB
Petabyte (PB)= 1024 TB
Exabyte (EB)= 1024 PB For a detailed answer cut and paste the following URL in your browser : http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/bits-bytes-mega-giga-tera-f53.html
Megabytes (MB) are a form of measurement themselves. To be specific, one MB is equal to 1024 Kilobytes (KB). In turn, one KB is equal to 1024 Bytes, and one Byte is the equivalent to 8 bits.
So, one MB can be measured as follows:
1 MB = 1 MB
1 MB = 1,024 KB
1 MB = 1,048,576 Bytes
1 MB = 8,388,608 bits
Bits aren't commonly used as a form of measurement though, the lowest unit that space is usually measured by is Bytes. I figured I wouldn't leave it out though in case the information is useful to someone.
Extra: One Gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1024 MB, and one Terabyte (TB) is equal to 1024 GB, see the pattern?
Bits are the smallest unit of measurement of computer data. 8 bits (b) = 1 byte(B). 1024 bytes(B) = 1 kilobyte (kB). 1024 kB = 1 megabyte (MB) etc..
A "flabbergasted" is not a measurement of computer memory. 8 bits are in a byte, 1000 bytes are in a kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes are in a megabyte, Etc.
The units of computer storage are :Bits, nibbles, Bytes, Kilobytes(KB), Megabytes(MB), Gigabytes(GB), Terabytes(TB), Petabytes(PB), Exabytes(EB), Zettabytes(ZB), Yottabytes(YB)....etc
it can be measured in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, exobytes, etc. also, it can be measured in bits
10000 bytes 80000 bits 0.01 Mbytes etc
Bit (this holds a 1 or 0) Byte (8 bits) kilobyte (1034 bytes) megabyte (1 048 576 bytes) gigabyte (1 073 741 824 bytes) terabyte (1 099 511 627 776 bytes) petabyte (1000000000000000.1258999 bytes) exabyte (1000000000000000000.1529215 bytes) zottabyte (1000000000000000000000.18059162 bytes) yottabyte (1000000000000000000000000.20892582 bytes) a yottabyte is 90000000000000000000000000.67140656 bits
25MB is 25 megabytes, which is 25,600 kilobytes (kB) or 26,214,400 bytes. A kilobyte is 1024 bytes (210 bytes), while a megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes (220 bytes). A gigabyte (GB) is 1,073,741,824 bytes (230 bytes). And so on for terabyte (TB, 240 bytes), petabyte (PB, 250 bytes), exabyte (EB, 260 bytes), zettabyte (ZB, 270 bytes) and yottabyte (YB, 280 bytes). Note that 25Mbit is 25 megabits which equates to 3,276,800 bytes because there are 8 bits in a byte. Some conventions just use a lower case b to denote bits, such as 25Mb, however it is best to be explicit when referring to bits. Just to add to the confusion, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) symbols are KiB, Mib, Gib, etc for bytes, and Kibit, Mibit, Gibit, etc, for bits.
Computer storage is usually measured in bytes. A byte is equal to 8 bits. A bit is a single piece of binary information (a 1 or a 0).For example, if you have 16 ones and zeros of information, then that is 16 bits, or 2 bytes.1,000 bytes is called a kilobyte; 1,000,000 bytes is called a megabyte, and 1,000,000,000 bytes is called a gigabyte. Today's computers store many billions of bytes, so these days you'll see a computer storage capacity measured in GB (gigabytes). For example, I have a computer at home with 500 GBs of storage. Therefore, it holds 5,000,000,000 bytes.However, it gets confusing when the number of bytes in a kilobyte, or megabyte, etc. is calculated using powers of 2, which is historically how it has been done. Things like kilobyte, megabyte, etc. needed to be expressed as a multiple of 2. Therefore, a kilobyte, instead of being strictly 1,000, is 2^10 = 1,024 bytes. A megabyte is 2^20 = 1,048,576 bytes. Therefore, let's say you have a disk that can hold 450,000,000 bytes. Using the binary definition of megabyte, that is 429.15 MB, and not 450 MB. This has led to consumer confusion, when someone buys a computer that claims 750 MB but Windows reports 715.256 MB.
They Measure Computer Memory in Binary. Binary is Computer Code In Only 0 & 1 's. 1 bit = one 0 or 1 1 byte = 8 bits 8 bits or 1 byte = a group of eight 0 & 1 's
The most widely used measurements from smallest to largest are as following: Bits Bytes (8 bits) Kilobytes, also known K or KB (1024 bytes) Megabytes, also knownas as MB (1024 kilobytes) Gigabytes, also known as GB (1024 megabytes)[i think is the most common in computers, SD cards, and such.] Terabytes, also known as TB (1024 gigabytes) There are also less used ones such as exabits, petabits, terabits, megabits, and kilobits, but those are much smaller. Computers store things in base 2 so if you wrote the letter A, it would be something like 011. About 3 Bits. the average song takes up about 10 Megabytes. 1011010100100001110110100101001010100101 etc. etc. a movie about 500-700 Megabytes, or about half a Gigabyte.
Bytes are what computers use for memory. They store digital information that the computer uses.Example: An average song is about 6 megabytes or roughly 6000000 bytes
If the number you entered is base 10 then 11000 bytes will require 88000 bits of memory (not including parity bits etc.). If the number you entered is base 16 or base 8 or any other base, convert it to a decimal number and multiply by 8 to get the number of bits. You can also express 11000 bytes as kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes if you can convert 11000 to the proper values for those units.
