This is typically called a byte, the term was defined this way by IBM for their System 360 series of computers.
However IBM first defined the byte as a variable number of bits from 1 to 16 for their 7030 Stretch computer, but by the time the design of the 7030 Stretch was finished this was reduced to a variable number of bits from 1 to 8.

1024 bytes = 1 kilo byte (Kb)
1024 kb = 1 mega byte (Mb)
1024 mb = 1 Giga byte (Gb)
1024 gb = 1 Tera byte (Tb)

What is a Set of computer bits called?
byte
What is the difference between octets and bytes?
A byte is a set of adjacent bits (usually 8, but not necessarily) while an octet is a set of exactly 8 bits
What in a computer moves 8 bits at a time?
8 bits totals one byte where one byte is roughly a single character such as 'A' or '1'
How many characters in 32bits?
If the characters are 8 bits then you have 4 for them in 32 bits. ASCII is an 7 bit character set but in most programming languages a char is 8 bits.
What computer information is made up of 8 bits?
a byte
How many bits are there in a kiolobyte?
8192 Bits are there in a kilo byte. How i arrived it? 8 bits constitute a Byte A kilibyte is a set of 1024bytes so, 8x1024=8192 bits
Explain what is the subnet id of host 86.212.118.145 given a subnet mask 255.0.0.0?
You must extract the first 8 bits of the host address (since the subnet mask has the first 8 bits equal to 1), and set all others to zero. The answer in this case is 86.0.0.0.You must extract the first 8 bits of the host address (since the subnet mask has the first 8 bits equal to 1), and set all others to zero.

How do you represent 300 in 8 bits?
The binary of 300 is 100101100 which are 9 bits therefore the first 8 bits from LSB goes to the register and the carry is generated and carry flag is set to 1.
What is storage unit of computer?
Usually, the byte, which is usually 8 bits in length.
What is a bit- in computer terms is it a character- in language terms is it a syllable?
A bit is the smallest piece of data that a computer (digital) can process. Several bits make up a byte. It started out as 4 bit and 8 bit processors. The earlest processers commercially available were 8 bit capable now there are 128 bit and possible in the near future. With each increase in bits also increased the instruction set that went with those processors. 8 Bits could up to 255 instructions in the operating set. The bit is to the byte as the letter is to a word.
What is a group of 8 bits usually called?
8 bits grouped together is called a byte. A byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that typically consists of eight bits. Bytes are often used to represent a character such as a letter, number, or symbol in a computer's memory. The size of a byte can vary depending on the computer architecture, but it is typically 8 bits on most modern systems.
What was the microprocessor to make it into a home computer and how many bits could it process at one time?
The microprocessor used in the first home computer was the 8080. It could handle 8 bits at a time.
