What is the difference between bit and byte, gigabyte and gigabit ?
nibble – half of a bit bit – 1/8 of a byte byte – one 1/1010 of a kilobyte kilobyte – 1/1010 of a megabyte megabyte – 1/1010 of a gigabyte gigabyte – 1/1010 of a terabyte ———————————- A kilobit is slightly smaller than a kilobyte. It’s the same with megabits and megabytes, as well as gigabits and gigabytes. The only thing important is the order of the smaller ones to the larger ones. ———————————- It’s the similar case with hertz (Hz), megahertz (MHz), and gigahertz (GHz). ———————————- For all the people saying one kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, they’re wrong. One KIBIBYTE is 1,000 bytes and a KILOBYTE is 1,010 bytes.
