One byte equals eight bits.
Byte
1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b) 4 bits = 1 nybble (?) 8 bits = 1 byte (B)
1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b) 4 bits = 1 nybble (?) 8 bits = 1 byte (B)
a byte
No, a nibble consists of 4 bits. It is half of a byte, which is made up of 8 bits.
A byte is the smallest storage size, made up of only 8 bits.
A bit is the smallest unit of binary language; either a 1 or a 0. A byte is made up of 8 bits.
AnswerA byte is made up of eight bits. A bit is a single state, usually represented by a 0 or a 1. Using binary code, eight bits can be used to represent characters numbers and other items. A bit is a single numeric value, either '1' or '0', that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of bits; usually eight bits equal one byte.
Because the people who decided to name them bits decided that 8 bits makes up a byte. It is just like asking why is a knife called a knife no real reason.
A byte is the smallest unit of storage. Mostly anything you do can take up a byte.
8 bits make up 1 byte
