A "single piece of binary" is a bit (not a byte). "A bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1, corresponding to the electrical values of off or on, respectively."
"Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. A byte contains enough information to store a single ASCII character, like "h"."
So 8 bits equals 1 byte, e.g. one character.

How many binary digits make 8 bytes?
One byte consists of 8 bits (binary digits). Therefore, to find the number of bits in 8 bytes, you multiply 8 bytes by 8 bits per byte, which equals 64 bits. Thus, 8 bytes contain 64 binary digits.
How many bytes are in a binary code?
There is no real answer to this. Binary codes can be any length. The minimum length is 1 byte.
In ASCII code the word 'cat' would equal how many bytes?
011000110110000101110100 is cat in Binary. That is 23 Bits, or just under 3 Bytes.
How many bytes are required to store a number in binary?
The number of bytes required to store a number in binary depends on the size of the number and the data type used. For instance, an 8-bit byte can store values from 0 to 255 (or -128 to 127 if signed). Larger numbers require more bytes: a 16-bit integer uses 2 bytes, a 32-bit integer uses 4 bytes, and a 64-bit integer uses 8 bytes. Thus, the number of bytes needed corresponds to the number of bits needed for the binary representation of the number.
How many bytes would it take to make 2501?
To determine how many bytes are needed to represent the number 2501, we first convert it to binary. The binary representation of 2501 is "10011100001," which requires 12 bits. Since one byte is 8 bits, you would need 2 bytes (16 bits) to store the value 2501.
How many bytes in a 6gb flash drive?
A 6 GB flash drive contains approximately 6 billion bytes. More precisely, since 1 gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes (using the binary definition), a 6 GB flash drive would have about 6,442,450,944 bytes. However, in decimal terms, it is often rounded to 6,000,000,000 bytes.
How many kilobytes in one byte?
1/1000 or 1/1024. Because "kilo" is the metric SI prefix for "1000", the "kilobyte" is the larger unit (1000 bytes). However, as bytes are arranged as binary numbers (powers of 2), a kilobyte actually refers to 1024 bytes. 1024 = 210
How many bits are in extended ASCII byte?
An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.
How many binary digits does a single hexadecimal digit represent?
four
What are the current measurements of capacity in a computer?
Computer storage is usually measured in bytes. A byte is equal to 8 bits. A bit is a single piece of binary information (a 1 or a 0).For example, if you have 16 ones and zeros of information, then that is 16 bits, or 2 bytes.1,000 bytes is called a kilobyte; 1,000,000 bytes is called a megabyte, and 1,000,000,000 bytes is called a gigabyte. Today's computers store many billions of bytes, so these days you'll see a computer storage capacity measured in GB (gigabytes). For example, I have a computer at home with 500 GBs of storage. Therefore, it holds 5,000,000,000 bytes.However, it gets confusing when the number of bytes in a kilobyte, or megabyte, etc. is calculated using powers of 2, which is historically how it has been done. Things like kilobyte, megabyte, etc. needed to be expressed as a multiple of 2. Therefore, a kilobyte, instead of being strictly 1,000, is 2^10 = 1,024 bytes. A megabyte is 2^20 = 1,048,576 bytes. Therefore, let's say you have a disk that can hold 450,000,000 bytes. Using the binary definition of megabyte, that is 429.15 MB, and not 450 MB. This has led to consumer confusion, when someone buys a computer that claims 750 MB but Windows reports 715.256 MB.
How many megabytes are in 100 megabytes?
100, 104.858, or 95.367, depending on if you mean decimal to decimal, binary to binary, decimal to binary, or binary to decimal. Simply, decimal megabytes, used by the storage industry, is 1,000KB, where each KB is 1,000 bytes. Binary megabytes, used by programmers (such as Microsoft, Linux, etc) are 1,024 KB, where each KB is 1,024 bytes (2^10, or 0x0200). Converting from decimal to binary will yield a smaller number of megabytes, while converting from binary to decimal will result in more megabytes.
