A byte is a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one alphanumeric character) processed as a single unit of information. A single letter or character would use one byte of memory (8 bits), two characters would use two bytes (16 bits).
Put another way, a bit is either an 'on' or an 'off' which is processed by a computer processor, we represent 'on' as '1' and 'off' as '0'. 8 bits are known as a byte, and it is bytes which are used to pass our information in it's basic form - characters.
An alphanumeric character (e.g. a letter or number such as 'A', 'B' or '7') is stored as 1 byte. For example, to store the letter 'R' uses 1 byte, which is stored by the computer as 8 bits, '01010010'.
A document containing 100 characters would use 100 bytes (800 bits) - assuming the file didn't have any overhead (additional data about the file which forms part of the file). Note, many non-alphanumeric characters such as symbols and foreign language characters use multiple bytes.
A kilobyte (KB) is 1024 bytes, a megabyte (MB) is 1024 kilobytes and so on as these tables demonstrate.
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte, 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte, 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte, 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte, 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte, 1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte, 1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
The yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 1024) bytes (one quadrillion gigabytes). The unit symbol for the yottabyte is YB.
As of 2012, no storage system or network has achieved even one thousandth of a yottabyte (a zettabyte) of information. The combined space of all computer hard drives in the world was estimated at approximately 160 exabytes in 2006, and as of 2009, the internet was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes.
When used with byte multiples, the SI prefix indicates a power of 1000: 1000000000000000000000000bytes = 10008 or 1024 bytes
The term "yobibyte" (YiB), using a binary prefix, is used for the corresponding power of 1024.

What is a yottabyte?
A yottabyte is 1024 or 1 septillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) bytes.
What is bigger - a yottabyte or an exabyte?
A yottabyte is larger. The scale (from giga-) goes gigabyte, terabyte, petabtye, exabyte, zettabyte, yottabyte.
What is the largest memory measurement for acomputer?
A yottabyte. (1 octillion bytes)
What is a yottabyte measurement?
A yottabyte is a type of measurement. A yottabyte is also referred to as a "YB" and is the largest SI unit one might use to measure data. One yottabyte equals 1,000 zettabytes.
What is before a yottabyte?
Zettabyte.
How many megabytes are in a yottabyte?
it is 1.20892582 X 1024 bytes1 Yottabyte = 1.1529215 × 1018 MegabytesOr 1,152,921,500,000,000,000 Megabytes.
How gigabytes are on a yottabyte?
one yottabyte = 1,000,000,000 gigabytes and interestly there are1000 yottabytes in a carabyte. We will need carabytes by about 2020.
What units are larger than a petabyte?
1000 petabytes = 1 exabyte (1018)1000 exabytes = 1 zettabyte (1021)1000 zettabyte = 1 yottabyte (1024)
What is the largest byte?
So far the largest one I know is the yottabyte
What comes after GB?
8 bits = 1 Byte 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte 1024 Exabyte = 1 Yottabyte Therefore, your answer is; the Terabyte (TB), the Petabyte (PB), the Exabyte (EB) and finally the Yottabyte (YB).
Bytes1024 peta byte is equal to?
1024 petabyte = 1 exabyte. For more info--- 1024 exabyte = 1 zettabyte 1024 zettabyte = 1 yottabyte
What is a pussabyte?
one yottabyte multiplied by 1024
