bit= either 0 or 1 bit is abbreviation of BInary digiT
(actually 0 represents off stage and 1 to represent on stage)
byte= combination of 8 bits
1 killo byte= 1024 bytes
1 mega byte= 1024 killo byte (kb)
1 giga byte= 1024 mega byte (mb)
1 tera byte= 1024 giga byte (gb)
sometimes, on broad we use 1000 to refer instead of 1024. But the actual value is 1024 that is 2 to the power 10 = 2^10= 1024
2 is the base (0 and 1 two digits)

kilobyte = 1000 bytes
mega = 1000000
giga = 1000000000
Oh - and 8 bits in a byte.
Oh again - that's an approximation. Really everything works in powers of 2, so strictly it's 1024 instead of 1000....

1024 bytes in a kilobyte, 1024 k in a megabyte, etc, etc

This link is for calculating bandwitdth that is measured in bytes, kilobytes, gigabytes, etc. http://www.easycalculation.com/bandwidth-calculator.php
