1 bit = a single digit number in base-2 = 0 or 1
1 byte (B) = a set of 8 bits that represent a single character in the computer's memory = 8 bits (B)
1 kilobyte (KB) = 2 to the 10th power = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte (MB) = 2 to the 20th power = 1,024 kilobytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1 gigabyte (GB) = 2 to the 30th power = 1,024 megabytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 terabyte (TB) = 2 to the 40th power = 1,024 gigabytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
1 petabyte (PB) = 2 to the 50th power = 1,024 terabytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
1 exabyte (EB) = 2 to the 60th power = 1,024 petabytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes
1 zettabyte (ZB) = 2 to the 70th power = 1,024 exabytes = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes
1 yottabyte (YB) = 2 to the 80th power = 1,024 zettabytes = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes
