what are bytes?

Answer 1

Typically a byte is 8 bits. In a document, a byte will hold a letter, using the ASCII code set. For arithmetic and math, bytes might be doubled up to make WORDS or double bytes, but also set in a series to make a floating point number.

A typical drive that holds 80GB of data, that's 80 billion bytes.

If you didn't ask, you would not know. But consider using http://www.Wikipedia.org and other on-line resources to LEARN.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Answer 2

Byte: A Byte is equal to 8 Bits. A Byte can represent 256 states of information, for example, numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. 1 Byte could be equal to one character. 10 Bytes could be equal to a word. 100 Bytes would equal an average sentence

· 1 Bit = Binary Digit
· 8 Bits = 1 Byte
· 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
· 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
· 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
· 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
· 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
· 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte -
· 1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
· 1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
· 1024 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
· 1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte
· 1 Bit = Binary Digit
· 8 Bits = 1 Byte
· 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
· 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
· 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
· 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
· 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
· 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte -
· 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
· 1000 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
· 1000 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
· 1000 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte

Answer 3

A byte is a unit of data that consist of eight bits. Within the computer it is represented by a set of eight mixed postive and negative charges. Us humans usually write those bits as a series of eight 0s and 1s representing the + or - charges. (10100011). Use a byte will represent a computer command, or a letter in a document, a color on a screen, etc.

1024 bytes make up a kilobyte (kb)
1024 kb make up a megabyte (gb)
1024 gb make up a terabyte (tb)

Often people will "estimate" kb, gb and tb using 1000 instead of the actual 1024.

Answer 4

byte

Abbreviation for binary term, a unit of storage capable of holding a single character. On almost all modern computers, a byte is equal to 8 bits. Large amounts of memory are indicated in terms of kilobytes (1,024 bytes), megabytes (1,048,576 bytes), and gigabytes (1,073,741,824 bytes).

Answer 5

Computer binary data.

1 or 0 would equal one "bit" of binary data.

There are 8 bits to 1 Byte.

Then, 1000 bytes to 1 Megabyte: 1000 Megabytes to 1 Gigabyte etc (or 1024 if you want to be exact!)

Answer 6

Bytes are how data is stored in a computer. They are composed of eight bits (0's and 1's)

Answer 7

Bytes. use bytes in the sentence, "ahh, help! a vampire bytes me!" joking, it seems everybody gave the correct answer exept for those who got low ratings. :D

Answer 8

a byte is 8 bits, or 8 binary digits.

01101010 is a byte

Answer 9

I think there very tiny square which contain very little memory and they binde together and make more memory to make a byte
