The bit is the most fundamental unit of digital information, representing a single binary value of either 0 or 1. Every piece of data stored or transmitted across the internet ultimately consists of bits, from a single text character to high-definition video streams. Eight bits make up one byte, which is why data storage is typically discussed in bytes rather than bits.

The byte (B) is the standard unit of digital storage consisting of 8 bits, enough to represent a single character like a letter or number. File sizes, memory capacity, and storage devices are all measured in bytes or their multiples, making it the most commonly referenced unit in computing. One byte equals exactly 8 bits and can represent 256 distinct values.
