Detailed explanation-1: -On almost all modern computers, a byte is equal to 8 bits. Large amounts of memory are indicated in terms of kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A byte is a group of 8 bits. A bit is the most basic unit and can be either 1 or 0. A byte is not just 8 values between 0 and 1, but 256 (28) different combinations (rather permutations) ranging from 00000000 via e.g. 01010101 to 11111111 . Thus, one byte can represent a decimal number between 0(00) and 255.
