A " bit " is a single one or zero. It has two states, and can only represent one of two values.
A " byte " is (usually) 8 bits working together, such that each bit is double the value of the bit to its right. A byte can represent 256 possible values.
A "kilobyte" is 1024 Bytes
A "word" is a unit of data of a defined bit length that can be addressed and moved between storage and the computer processor. Usually, the defined bit length of a word is equivalent to the width of the computer's data bus so that a word can be moved in a single operation from storage to a processor register. For any computer architecture with an eight- bit byte , the word will be some multiple of eight bits.

How can you arrange bit byte word nibble in ascending order?
bit, nibble, byte, word
Which is the highest a bit or a nibble and why?
A nibble is bigger than a bit. A nibble = 4 bits, A Byte = 2 Nibbles or 8 bits
What is a nibble (referring to the computer term)?
A nibble is half a bit octet (commonly known as a byte). A nibble, therefore, is a set of four binary digits. The numeric value of a nibble is commonly presented in binary form, or in form of a single hexadecimal digit.
4 bits 8 bits equal to?
4 bit equals to nibble and 8 bit equal to byte..
What is bit size?
A bit size is one. It can be either a 0 or 1. Eight bits together is called a byte. Four bits (half of a byte) is called a nibble.
Is there anything less than bit?
Not in computing. A bit is a single entity. A nibble is four bits. A byte is eight bits.
What is the relationship between a byte and a bit?
A bit is one binary unit - either a one or a zero. A byte contains 8 bits. (so for example a byte would look like "10011011") Half a byte (or 4 bits) is called a nibble, no kidding!
What is known as nibble?
A nibble is a half of a byte, 4 bits.
What is half a nibble?
computer geek speak wise i would say that if 8 bits are one byte and if half a byte is a nibble ( 4 bits ) then half a nibble would be equal to two bits or similar to two peas in a pod so the technical answer would be a pod - ( place of double ) bit grouping
How many gigabytes does the nibble have?
A nibble is a half of a byte, usually 4 bits.
What name is given to half a byte?
A Nibble No Jokes :)
Why is 4 bits called a nibble?
According to the Wikipedia, 'The term "nibble" originates from the fact that the term "byte" is a homophone of the English word "bite". A nibble is a small bite, which in this context is construed as "half a bite".'
