Thanks:
a bit is a binary digit which equals 0 or 1 and is the basic unit of information storage. All of the other measurements are a reflection of how many of the basic units (bits) are available for storage or how many of these are taken up by a document, application, etc. The number of bits has been steadily increasing and what used to represent a lot of storage now represents very little. So here is a run down of how much of one things makes up another.
8 bits is a byte
1000 bytes is a kilobyte (KB)
1 million bytes is a megabyte (MB)
1 billion bytes is a gigabit (GB)
1 trillion bytes is a terabyte
1 quadrillion bytes is a petabyte
1 quintillion bytes is an exabyte
1 sextillion bytes is a zettabyte
1 septillion bytes is a yottabyte

Happy to know that! Thanks!! I am asking always my brother what is KB, MB, GB, and I get just the name!! So now I know the power: the numbers of each!!
I know that the system is the binary. Does anyone know about that?
