help me on my class work (computers)?

Question

1 bit=
1 byte=
1kilobyte=
1 megabite=
1 gigabite=
1 terabyte=
feel free to detail the mare detail the more i know stanks

Answer 1

1 bit= A bit is the smallest unit of data in computing, with a value of either 0 or 1. Abbreviated as b.

1 byte= A byte usually denotes 8 bits (also called an octet or a word), which the computer treats as a single unit. Abbreviated a B

1kilobyte= Although kilo is Greek for a thousand, a kilobyte actually contains 1,024 bytes (that's 2 to the 10th power). In other words, a thousand bytes is actually less than a kilobyte. Abbreviated as KB.

1 megabite= Although mega is Greek for a million, a megabyte actually contains 1,048,576 bytes (1,024 x 1,024 bytes). In other words, a million bytes is actually less than a megabyte. Abbreviated as MB.

1 gigabite= a unit of information equal to one 1,073,741,824 bytes or 1024 megabytes. Abbreaviated as GB

1 terabyte= 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1024 gigabytes. Abbreviated as TB

Answer 2

The data in each file is merely a long list of numbers. The size of the file is just the length of the list of numbers. Each number is called a byte. Each byte contains 8 bits. Each bit is either a one or a zero and therefore, once again, there are "8 bits"(2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2) = 256"1 byte" possible combinations.

1 kilobyte= 1000 bytes
1 megabyte = 1,000,000 bytes
1 gigabyte= 1,000,000 bytes
1 terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes

Hence a byte can only hold a number as large as 255. There is no type of data that cannot be represented as a list of bytes. Bytes are sometimes also called octets. Your letter to Mary will be encoded into bytes for storage on the computer. We all know that a television picture is just a sequence of dots on the screen that scan from left to right. In that way, a picture might be represented in a file: that is, as a sequence of bytes where each byte is interpreted as a level of brightness--0 for black and 255 for white. For your letter, the convention is to store an A as 65, a B as 66, and so on. Each punctuation character also has a numerical equivalent.

Answer 3

1 bit= its the least value in computers,if its 1-its true,if its 0-false
1 byte= 8 bits
1kilobyte= 1024 bits
1 megabite=1024 kilo bytes
1 gigabite=1024 megabytes
1 terabyte= 1099511627776 bytes

Bits are tiny particles of computer matter that make up everything in your computer. They are much too small to see except with a powerful microscope. Your computer contains a theoretically infinite number of them, whizzing around, and bouncing off each other. There are two main kinds of bits, zeros and ones. A zero is a place where a something could be but isnt, and a one is a place where something actually is. Bits combine together in different patterns to form bytes

Answer 4

1 bit= the smallest unit (1 or 0)
1 byte= the smallest 'word' (8 bits)
1kilobyte= a 1,000 bytes (words)
1 megabite= a 1,000,000 bytes (words)
1 gigabite= a billion 1,000,000,000 bytes
1 terabyte= a trillion 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

Answer 5

1 bit = 1 bit
1 byte = 8 bytes
1 KB[kilobyte] = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 kilobyte
1 GB = 1024 MB
1 TB = 1024 GB.

Hi there

Here is a site which gives you the various units for computer data and gives you their equivalent values in all the various units.
