A bit, which can hold two values. 1 bit is the smallest unit of info in a computer 4 bits = 1 byte 2 bytes = 1 word a "byte" can be all sorts of things: It usually is the smallest addressable unit in a computer. 8 bit bytes are the most common nowadays, but here are, or have been, computers with bytes of 4 bits, 8 bits, 9 bits, 13 bits, 16 bits and others.
The smallest amount of data that can be stored on a computer is a byte. A byte is one character, whether a letter or number. Computers store data in numbers, mostly 0's and 1's, which represent on and off.
A 32-bit processor can perform functions on 32-bit pieces of information. The value of that 32-bit number may only be 1 bit, but the computer processes it as if it were 32-bits.

What is the smallest byte on computers?
No. The smallest practical unit of information is the bit - which is what you get when you can have two choices, often called "yes/no", "true/false", or "one/zero". In theory, a byte can have different sizes, but it is normally standardized as 8 bits. It is the smallest amount of computer memory that can be directly addressed.
Why is memory in bytes?
The word was made up by Dr. Werner Buchholz at IBM IN 1956 to represent a grouping of bits. At the time, he was working with 6 bit bytes. Today, a byte is 8 bits.
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 :-)
What is a three letter word for memory unit?

What is smallest unit of memory measurment?
The smallest unit of memory measurement is the bit, which is a binary digit representing a state of either 0 or 1. Bits are the fundamental building blocks of data in computing and digital communications. They are often grouped into larger units, such as bytes (8 bits), for practical data representation and processing.
What are the measurements for computer memory?
The most basic type of measurement in computers or memory storage systems, are bytes. Bytes are so small however, that usually the smallest unit of memory used in the modern computer systems are kilobytes. Kilobytes are equivalent to 1,000 bytes. Here is a chart to display the most used units in computers, and what they are equal to. Bytes = Basic Unit Kilobyte = 1,000 bytes Megabyte = 1,000 kilobytes Gigabyte = 1,000 megabytes Terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes Currently, modern computers have a max amount of storage of about 1 terabyte, and that is for a $1,000 plus computer. My computer has a total of 500 gigabytes of memory, or 1/2 1 terabyte. My computer cost $750.
