B, KB, MB, GB and TB are common units for measuring data.
A bit is one of the smallest units of binary information and can represent 0 or 1.
To convert binary to decimal, mark the place values 1, 2, 4, 8 and add the places containing 1.
To convert a decimal number to binary, repeatedly divide by 2 and read the remainders backwards.
Binary uses only 0 and 1; its place values are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.
A byte usually contains 8 bits, a basic unit used throughout computer history.
Electronic circuits can reliably distinguish two stable states, such as high and low voltage.
