Answer 1

a group of 8 bits is called a byte

Answer 2

A group of 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit

PC processors can possibly tell if a wire is on or off. Fortunately, they can take a gander at bunches of wires at any given moment (see buss), and respond to an unpredictable example of ons and offs in quite complex ways.

To make an interpretation of these examples into something that bodes well to people, we consider a wire that is on to be a ""1"" and a wire that is set for be a ""0"".

At that point we can take a gander at the wires driving into a PC and read something like 00110111 00010000.

We don't have a clue what that speaks to the processor, it's only an example.

Each spot in the example is a bit, which might be 1 or 0.

In the event that it implies a number to the processor, the bits make up a double number.
