Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. ... A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes, not one thousand bytes as might be expected, because computers use binary (base two) math, instead of a decimal (base ten) system. Computer storage and memory is often measured in megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB)

Bandwith is measured in?

In computer networking, bandwidth (or data transfer speed) is measured in binary bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (B/s), where one byte is equal to eight bits. For example, a broadband connection speed of 8Mbps would theoretically allow a user to download 1MB of data every second.


Data on a computer is measured in bits Which answer correctly shows measurements from the smallest to the largest?

Bits are the smallest unit of measurement of computer data. 8 bits (b) = 1 byte(B). 1024 bytes(B) = 1 kilobyte (kB). 1024 kB = 1 megabyte (MB) etc..
