-
Bit (b):
-
Smallest unit of data.
-
Represents a binary value: 0 or 1.
-
Used in data transfer rates (e.g., internet speed).
- Byte (B): Stores one character of data (e.g., a letter or number).Common unit for measuring file sizes.

- Megabyte (MB): Used for medium-sized files like audio files, high-resolution images, and documents.
- Gigabyte (GB): Used for larger files like videos, games, and apps.
- Terabyte (TB): Used for massive storage needs like hard drives, data centers, or cloud storage.
