The smallest memory size is a single bit, capable of storing either a 1 or a zero. An electronic component that does this is known as a D latch and in it's simplest form has three pins. The data input pin will have the value to be stored. The clock or enable pin is the trigger to store the value on the data input pin. Finally the output pin will have the value of the stored data. These single byte memories can be bought as small integrated circuits. Add 8 of these latches together and you have a 1 byte memory. Add 1 byte memories together and you have the basis of computer memory as used in almost all processors.

Is a milbit the smallest?
The smallest data size is the bit, which is either a 1 or a 0, a yes or a no 8 bits make a byte, 1024 bytes to a kilobyte, 1024kb in a megabyte, and so on and so forth

Is a bit the smallest unit of data a digital computer can recognize?
Bit "A bit is the smallest unit of data that a binary computer can recognize." Morley, Deborah (2010-02-09). Understanding Computers (Page 52). South-Western. Kindle Edition.
What tiny unit of information storage consisting of an onoff signal?
Bit.
What is the Smallest piece of information processed by computer?
The smallest unit of memory if this is what your referring to is known as a Bit. from there they get larger. 4 Bits is a nibble. 8 Bits is a Byte. 8 to 96 Bytes is a Word. 1024 Bytes - Kilobyte 1024 KB - Megabyte 1024 MB - Gigabyte 1024 GB - Terabyte 1024 TB - Petabyte 1024 PB - Exabyte 1024 EB - Zettabyte 1024 ZB - Yottabyte

Which memory units size depends on the processor?
The memory unit's size that depends on the processor is the bit.
What factor decides the bit size of a processor?
bit size is a wordlength of one memory location
Smallest unit of measure?
There is no smallest measurement since you cannot compare the size of a second (time) with a gram (mass). Furthermore, by suitable use of prefices, you can always find a smaller unit even if it has no real life application.
What is 120 bits?
A size of memory measurement. Bit is the second smallest preluded by byte which is equalling one typed leter on your screen. So size wise it is very small. Live long and prepare...for Maxwell5050.
If a memory had 16 bit address bus and a 32 bit data bus what is the largest size of the memory?
A memory with a 16 bit address bus can address 216 or 65536 distinct items. If each item is 32 bits in size, then the item is 4 bytes. The size of this memory is then 262144 bytes. (256Kb)

What is the smallest shoe size for a 13 year old girl?
size seven is the smallest you can go. Size six is kiddy size! Anyways, don't worry bout your size. I'm a bit younger than you and I'm a size nine! I know! It's HUGE!
What is smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk?
It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)
