Orders of Magnitude - Digital Data
Bit:
An eighth of a byte
This is the smallest fundamental size of data storage. It is a binary digit meaning that it can take the value of either 1 or 0. All computer data can be broken down to a string of these 1 and 0. When represented as a string it is called binary code.
Byte: 8 Bits A single byte stores eight bits, eight 1's or 0's. This octet of bits is the smallest unit for a base 1,000 order of magnitude naming system as follows:
Kilobyte: 1 thousand or, 1,000 bytes
Megabyte: 1 million, or 1,000,000 bytes
Gigabyte: 1 billion, or 1,000,000,000 bytes
Terabyte: 1 trillion, or 1,000,000,000,0000 bytes
Petabye: 1 quadrillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
Exabyte: 1 quintillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
Zettabyte: 1 sextillion or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Yottabyte: 1 septillion, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes
