A 'Bit' is one Binary Digit (a 1 or a 0) and a Byte is 8 bits.
Every character on a computer keyboard is translated into a unique string of 8 bits (a byte) in order to be processed by the computer's ALU.
Bit= 1 or 0
Byte= 11001101 (for example)

∙ 13y agoA bit is typically the smallest unit of memory in an electronic device. As it is based on a binary system, it can contain only one of two possible values: 1 or 0, which generally relate to that electronic memory element being set On or Off, respectively.
A byte consists of 8 bits and is typically used to represent a single logical character. As each of the 8 bits can contain either of two binary values (1 or 0) the total number of combinations in any byte is therefore 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 2**8 = 256.
The literal character for any particular byte value can vary depending on the Code being used by the computer. For example, a byte with a current value of 90 is generally "Z" in ASCII but is "!" in EBCDIC. But even within the general structure of ASCII there can be special character sets employed wherein some or all of the values are agreed to represent other characters used in foreign languages or in special applications.
- 1 bit (b) = 1 binary value (0 or 1)
- 1 byte (B) = 8 bits = one logical character
- 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1024B
- 1 megabyte (MB) = 1024KB
- 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024MB
- 1 terabyte (TB) = 1024GB

A byte is the smallest addressable unit if memory in a computer. It is composed of eight bits. A byte can have a value of 0 to 255. How the value of a byte is interpreted depends on its context. It can either be (part of) a program instruction or a single character of data.

What is difference between a 'byte' and a 'byte'?
I believe you meant difference between a bit and a byte. A byte is 8 bits.
What is the difference between a bit and a bite?
it takes about 225 bits for one byte.
What is the difference between character and bit?
character is an 8bit word also known as 1 byte. where as bit is referred to single bit among those 8 bit in a 1 byte (or character).
The difference between bit and byte a word and word size?
One Byte = 8 bits One Kilobyte = 1000 bytes One Megabyte = 1000 kilobytes
What is the difference between byte and word?
one octet (8-bit byte or word) so 8 bytes = 1 word
Difference between bit addressable and byte addressable in micro controller?
Hey ! in bit addressable , one can reach the bits (PORT 1.0,PORT1.1,PORT1.2,..etc..) of the ports in the programming while byte addressable only allows the bytes(PORT 1) to be addressed. therefore,there is difference in programming instructions too.
What is the difference between bits and byts?
A bit is the smallest unit of binary language; either a 1 or a 0. A byte is made up of 8 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!
Difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is a single 1 or 0. A Byte is 8 bits.
Is a bit a byte?
8 bits are a byte
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
Bits are smaller than bytes. 8 bits equal 1 byte. 4 bits equal a nibble.
What is the difference between a byte and a kilobyte?
1000 bytes =1 kilobyte
