Difference between Byte and Bit (Bytes vs Bits)

Byte (B)

Byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.
A single byte can be used to represent 256 different values.
1000bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB).
1024 bytes = 1 Kibibyte (KiB).

Bit (b)

Bit (binary digit) is the most basic unit of information in digital computing and communications systems.
Bit is the smallest unit to represent digital data.
A bit represents a logical state with one of two possible values either 1 or 0.
The unit symbol for bit is b.
