on a computer or any other devise that uses bytes, what is the order, as far as size, of bytes?

Answer 1

A byte is 8 bits in size, each bit being a zero or one (binary).

Answer 2

1. bit one or zero of data.

2. nibble, 4 bits, or half a byte

3. Byte, or computer word for the first Persoal Computers, which were based on 8 bit computer words. Ascii is composed of one byte for each character.

Google.com answers it, too.

Answer 3

A byte is a unit of measure for digital information. A single byte contains eight consecutive bits, and is capable of storing a single ASCII character, like "h".
A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes, not one thousand bytes as might be expected. This odd number results from the fact that computers use binary (base two) math, instead of a decimal (base ten) system.
Computer storage and memory is often measured in megabytes (MB). A medium-sized novel contains about 1MB of information. 1MB is 1,024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 (1024x1024) bytes, not one million bytes. Again, this number results from the fact that computers use binary math.
1 kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes
1 MB is 1,024 kilobytes
1 gigabyte (GB) is 1,024MB, or 1,073,741,824 (1024x1024x1024) bytes.
1 terabyte (TB) is 1,024GB; 1TB is about the same amount of information as all of the books in a large library, or roughly 1,610 CDs worth of data.
1 petabyte (PB) is 1,024TB. Indiana University is now building storage systems capable of holding petabytes of data.
1 exabyte (EB) is 1,024PB.
1 zettabyte (ZB) is 1,024EB.
1 yottabyte (YB) 1,024ZB.

Answer 4

Hello Marlina : well lets say some computers use 120 gb
and hard drives can runup 7200rpm were others less than maybe different MB size that depends upon the make also style
of each one monitor only! see info http://www.computer.com
