I believe the question you are trying to ask is, "What are bytes" or "What is a byte." Simply put, a byte is a basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. The term "byte" comes from "bite," as in the smallest amount of data a computer could "bite" at once. The term byte was coined by Dr. Werner Buchholz in July 1956, during the early design phase for the IBM Stretch computer. Originally it was defined in instructions by a 4-bit byte-size field, allowing from one to sixteen bits. A fixed eight-bit byte size was later adopted and promulgated as a standard by the System/360.

An Ethernet MAC sublayer receives 42 bytes of data from the upper layer. How many bytes of padding must be added to the data?
The padding needs to make the size of the data section 46 bytes. If the data received from the upper layer is 42 bytes, we need 46 − 42 = 4 bytes of padding.

Why you need to consider bytes in making a website?
Because the less bytes used the more bytes saved. This means that your site can contain more data or have more data entered into it.

How many bytes of data can 32 MB of RAM store?
A stick of 512 megabytes of RAM can hold about 512 megabytes of data. It cannot, however, store it for long because it is volatile and is not designed to store data.
