The number of digits required to store a number in binary is substantially greater than that required in octal and even larger than in hex.

A letter is stored in binary on a computer. The word summer in binary is written as: 011100110111010101101101011011010110010101110010. That's 48 digits. There are 8 bits in 1 byte, thus 48/8 = 6. So 6 bytes are used to store summer. On modern computers, each character in the English alphabet is represented by a byte. Therefore the word SUMMER takes up 6 bytes of memory.
40 bits or 5 byrtes
You only need one bit to denote 0 or 1... so 1/8th of a byte would be enough. The actual space taken to store the number 1 would be defined by the type of the variable that is holding the number... if you were programming in C, and used the integer type to store the value 1, it would use 2 bytes - those two bytes, in binary, would read 0000000000000001.
about eight bits, which is equal to one byte
To store the hexadecimal number FF, we need to convert it to binary first. FF in hexadecimal is equivalent to 1111 1111 in binary, which requires 8 bits to represent. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to 4 bits in binary, so two hexadecimal digits (FF) require 8 bits to store.
ALL Computers read write store information as binary (1 and 0's) in representations of bits(smallest representation of information) and bytes (8 bits make a byte)
It's 2 Kilobytes, or 2048 bytes. A Kilobyte is a measure of storage or computer memory. Computers store data as a series of 1s and 0s (on or offs) and this is called binary. Each 1 or 0 is called a "bit" which is short for "binary-digit". 1 byte = 8 bits 1024 bytes = 1 KB
