| Â | Bit |
 | | Eight-bit bytes are also known as octet s. | | | By extension, ones or zeros in a computerised binary number (or a byte) are called bits. | | | A byte is a collection of bits, originally variable in size but now usually eight bits. |

| Â | COMING TO TERMS WITH BYTES |
| | Yet a kilobyte, as computer experts know, is actually 1,024 bytes, and a megabyte is really 1,048,576 bytes. | | | This discrepancy stems from the need to write electronic information in binary code, using only two digits, ones and zeros, while the metric system is based on 10 digits. |

| Â | The PC's Metric System |
| | One thing that is very odd about the computer version of the metric system for measuring large blocks of bytes, is that since the system is binary, it does not follow traditional metrics. | | | Since PC's work with binary values, their memory and storage uses binary values - and therefore it was decided that kilo would be assigned to a binary value which would have a single "1" in it - and still keep the value as close to the decimal value as possible. | | | Hence, kilo in binary is equivalent to 1024 in decimal, or simply 2 to the 12th power, which in binary is 100000000000. |
