The computer sees the world as a series of binary digit or bits. A bit can hold one of two numerical values: 1 for 'on' or 0 for 'off'. You might think of bids as miniature light switches. Of course, a single bit doesn't hold much information, so eight of them are combined to form a bite, which can be used to represent 256 values. Integer value one equals 00000001 (only 1 bit is flipped on), well the fight that represents 255 is 111111111 (all the hits are flipped on). A kilobyte (KB or K) is 1024 bytes, or about 1000 bytes. A megabyte (MB) is 1,048,576 bytes or about 1 million bytes. A gigabyte (GB) it's about 1 billion bites, and a terabyte (TB) is about 1 trillion bytes
