We have learned that dif, to enter data into the, instructions are, , ferent types of input devices are used, computer. But, where these data and, stored? The computer system has different, storage areas where it keeps data or, , information permanently or temporarily, while working. This storage area is, known as the memory of the computer., A computer has a large memory., , , , HOW COMPUTER STORES DATA, , Computer stores data only in the form of two digits, Oand 1. Each digit is called a bit (Binary Digit). A bit, is the smallest unit of a computer. Combination of, 8 bits make one byte. One byte is used to represent, one character of data. The CPU converts the data, into binary digits before storing it., , Bit=Oorl, , Byte = 8 bits, Units of Computer Memory, Computer storage is measured in bytes, kilobytes,, megabytes, etc., 8 bits = 1 Bytes, 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (KB), 1024 KB = 1 Megabyte (MB), 1024 MB = 1 Gigabyte (GB), 1024 GB = 1 Terabyte (TB), 1024 TB = 1 Petabyte (PB)
