Memory Capacities

Memory and storage capacity is measured in special units called bytes. A byte is equivalent to a single character. Characters can be a number from 0 to 9,letters A to Z or a special symbol. For example, a number like 2545 has four bytes while the words ,My Home has seven bytes since the space between them has 1 byte.
Memory capacities can be expressed in;
Kilobytes (KB): Approximately one thousand bytes.(1024)
Megabytes(MB):Approximately one million bytes.(1000 000)
Gigabytes(GB): Approximately one billion bytes.(1000 000 000)
Terabytes(TB): Approximately one trillion bytes.(1000 000 000 000)
