Byte

A byte consists of eight bits. Thus it can assume the states 0 and 1 eight times, which results in 256 possible combinations. Therefore a byte can assume 256 different states. In the primary storage of a computer (RAM) many bytes can be stored; how many depends on the storage capacity of the computer, which is indicated either in KB (1,024 bytes) or more often in MB (1,048,576 bytes).
