How much is a gigabyte worth?

In: Computer Terminology

Answer:

A byte is a standard "block" of data bits that was introduced by IBM and other manufacturers to store one "character" or "symbol" or some other standardized piece of data.

A "bit" is the short name for a "binary digit" that can have only two values: 0 or 1.

1 byte is usually defined as 8 bits.
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

Note:
All the above definitions have long been in common everyday usage within the computer industry.
