A combination of 8 bits is called a Byte. A byte can hold one character.
1 Byte = 8 bits
1024 bytes make one kilo byte. Kilo Byte is denoted by KB.
1 KB = 1024 Bytes
1024 Kilo bytes make one mega byte. Mega Byte is denoted by MB.
1 MB = 1024 KB
1024 mega bytes make one Giga byte. Giga Byte is denoted by GB.
1 GB = 1024 MB
1024 Giga bytes make one Tera byte. Tera Byte is denoted by TB.
1 TB = 1024 GB
1024 Tera Bytes make one Peta byte. Peta Byte is denoted by PB.
1 PB = 1024 TB
1024 Peta bytes make one Exa byte. Exa Byte is denoted by EB.
1 EB = 1024 PB
