Unit Information

Bit (bit)

Definition

A bit (short for binary digit) is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two values, most commonly represented as 0 or 1. All digital data is stored and processed in bits.

Current Use

Bits are fundamental to all electronic storage and data transmission. They are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as bits per second (bps). In hardware, they represent the state of a transistor or a capacitor.

Byte (byte)

Definition

A byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.

Current Use

The byte is the standard unit used to measure data storage and memory capacity in computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices. Most file sizes are reported in multiples of bytes (KB, MB, GB).
