Bits, Bytes, Mega, Giga, Tera
1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b)
4 bits = 1 nybble (?)
8 bits = 1 byte (B)
1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB)
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte (MB)
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte (GB)
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte (TB)
The smallest amount of transfer is one bit. It holds the value of a 1, or a 0. (Binary coding). Eight of these 1's and zero's are called a byte.

The smallest unit though looks like a bit, but in computer operation it is either 1 or more bytes always. For instance you have a 32 bit processor or the newer ones 64 bit processors.
Appreciate that you are doing good work for Bikaner Computer Literacy.
