Question

A _ _ _ _ is the smallest chunk of information, a computer can work with.

Answer 1

Thanks for the question!!! 

Computers are categorized by the number of bits they process at one time. The bits are the smallest chunk of information which is used by computers. The number of bits determines the information and is used to represent addresses.A bit (abbreviation for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data. One bit has only one single binary value, either 0 or 1. Computers provide instructions that tests and manipulate bits. They are designed in order to store data and execute instructions in bit multiples called bytes.

1 byte = 8 bits
1 bit = (1/8) bytes
1 bit = 0.125 bytes
1 megabyte = 10002 bytes
1 megabit = 10002 bits
1 megabit = 0.125 megabytes
1 megabit/second = 0.125 megabytes/second
1 Mbps = 0.125 MB/s


Hope it is helpful to you and solves your query too!!!

Answer 2

When data is input in a computer, it can sense the signal and classify it as an on or off. This will be represented as a '1' for "ON" and '0' for "OFF". The 1 or 0 as an individual figure in the computer language is called a binary digit or bit. This is the smallest piece of data or information that a computer system can work with.

8 bits when grouped together make 1 byte. One byte delivers enough codes which are 256 in number as a representation of all the characters that are found on a standard keyboard. When measuring a computer memory size, a byte is the basic unit used to measure.

These are the values used to measure a computer memory:

Bit = 1 or 0

Byte = 8 bits Kilobyte (kB) = 1024 bytes Megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes Terabyte (TB) = 1024 gigabyte
