1.8 Multiples of Bit
✅ Multiples of Bit
bit, Byte, Kilo, Mega, Giga, Tera, Petta, Exa, Zelta, Yotta
1b = 1bit
= 0(0.5v
) or 1(5v
)1B = 1byte
=8 bits
1KB(kilo)
=1024 bytes
1MB(Mega)
=1024 bytes * 1024 bytes
=1024KB
1GB(Giga)
=1024 bytes * 1024 bytes * 1024 bytes
=1024MB
1TB(Tera)
=1024GB
1PB(Petta)
=1024TB
➡️ does not exist yet ❌1EB(Exa)
=1024PB
➡️ does not exist yet ❌1ZB(Zelta)
=1024EB
➡️ does not exist yet ❌1YB(Yotta)
=1024ZB
➡️ does not exist yet ❌
📚 Rule of Multiples of bit
- normally, bit is written on the right, YB on the left
- If you pass from big ➡️ smaller (from left ➡️ right)
- each step has a value of
multiplying by 1024(2^10)
- except the last step, which is
byte ➡️ bit
which is
multiplied by 8 = 2^3
- If you pass from small ➡️ bigger (from right ➡️ left)
- each step has a value of
divide by 1024(2^10)
- which is the same as
multiplying by 2^(-10)
- except the first step, which is
bit ➡️ byte
- which is
divided by 8 = 2^3
- which is the same as
divided by 2^(-3)
