A bit is the smallets unit of information. Basically, the bit is "on" or "off" and is represented by a 1 or a 0 respectively.

Note:

1/0 = 1 Bit

4 Bits = Nibble

8 bits = Byte

1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte (Kb)

1024 KiloBytes = 1 Megabyte (Mb)

1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (Gb)

Note that the shorthand (Kb) has a capital K. The Capital refers to bytes. If it is lowercase (kb), then the number is in bits. Many people use these interchangeably, but they are completely different.

How many nibbles in a megabyte?

Incorrect There are exactly 2 million nibbles in a megabyte (MB). Correct: 4 Bits = 1 Nibble 8 Bits = 1 Byte 1024 Bytes = 1 KiloByte 1024 KiloBytes = 1 MegaByte 1024 MegaBytes = 1 GigaByte 1024 GigaBytes = 1 TeraByte 2 x 1024 x 1024 = 2,097,152 There are 2,097,152 Nibbles in a MegaByte mega- is the SI prefix for "1 million", so 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. 1 byte = 2 nibbles, so 1 MB = 2,000,000 nibbles. There are 2,097,152 nibbles in a mebibyte (MiB). 4 bits = 1 nibble (or nybble) 2 nibbles = 1 byte 1024 bytes = 1 kibibyte (KiB) 1024 kibibytes = 1 mebibyte 1024 x 1024 = bytes in a mebibyte Here is the math: bytes in a mebibyte x 2 = nibbles in mebibyte 2 x 1024 x 1024 = 2,097,152
