8 bits
Why is information stored in some kind of binary format in computers?
Information is stored in some kind of binary format in computers because computer memory is made out of binary digits (bits).
What is the difference between bits and byts?
A bit is the smallest unit of binary language; either a 1 or a 0. A byte is made up of 8 bits.
What is the formula that will define the total number of binary number combination that can be made when given the number of binary bits available?
Two to the power of the amount of available digits.
What is meant by the term bit per second?
It is a binary digit and computers use it to store and process data. A single binary unit is called a bit which stands for binary digit. Computer memory is measured in bytes. One byte is made up of eight bits.
How do you use byte in a sentence?
A byte is a single unit of digital information, made of of several bits of sequenced binary data.
What are the 20 uses of binary numbers in maths?
A Binary Number is made up of only 0s and 1s. 110100 Example of a Binary Number There is no 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 in Binary! A "bit" is a single binary digit. The number above has 6 bits. Binary numbers have many uses in mathematics and beyond.
What is a byte and a bit?
AnswerA byte is made up of eight bits. A bit is a single state, usually represented by a 0 or a 1. Using binary code, eight bits can be used to represent characters numbers and other items. A bit is a single numeric value, either '1' or '0', that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of bits; usually eight bits equal one byte.

Was the person who made computer terms hungry?
No. A "bit" is an abbreviation of binary digit. The term "byte" was coined in 1956 by Werner Buchholz to refer to a bit grouping (typically 8 bits). The deliberate mis-spelling was simply to avoid any accidental mutation of bite to bit.
A byte is made up of bits.?
One byte equals eight bits.
