FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a bit and a byte?

A bit is the smallest binary state (0 or 1). A byte is composed of exactly 8 bits.

Why is 1 Kilobyte 1024 bytes instead of 1000?

Digital systems operate on binary (base-2) arithmetic. 2^10 equals 1,024, which is the closest binary power to 1,000.
